I got my Garmin 310XT the day before a marathon when my 305 broke down.Itt was so easy to get used to and I enjoyed the extra features like the Virtual Runner which allows you to see where you stand compared to your target Read more
- Good battery life, Easy to see while running (big clear screen), accurate GPS, easy too use buttons, good functions and screen options
- Can't use as a regular watch. Problems with data transfer. Sometimes has trouble finding satellites but better than older models.
