Garmin Forerunner 310XT

By Ed J Price on July 8, 2009

One of the latest heart rate monitors to be released by Garmin is the Garmin 310XT heart monitor. They have over the years taken major strides to establish themselves as one of the best if not the best in heart rate monitor manufacturers in this competitive industry. In the beginning of the third quarter in 2009 alone, they are poised to release two new heart rate monitors. These will be the Garmin 310 and the FR60 heart rate monitor. There is a lot of hope riding on these two monitors. To come out tops, Garmin monitors have to provide more than just heart rate reading. It has to have more features such as GPS to catch the eyes of prospective users. Here is a non biased review on the 310.

GPS – Second to None

In a first for its kind, the Garmin 310 is a GPS heart monitor that can be used in the water. Almost all other monitors that have a Global Positioning System are not water proof. It is perfect for the triathlete in that it is able to track running and cycling data on top of being water proof. It is the ultimate tool in that the Global Positioning System is second to none. It keeps track of the rate of your heart, distance and pace. These are the basics that you will need when training whether you are an elite athlete or just someone looking to shed a few pounds. The 310 easily fits into any workout routine or regimen and can move from wrist to the handlebars of bikes in a blink of an eye (no pun intended).

More Features

This Garmin Heart Rate Monitor has a very high sensitive GPS system that comes with fast reception to satellites even when around tall trees and buildings. This is possible through Garmin’s Connect feature. Connection and communication with other heart monitors, a foot pod or the cadence sensor are done through the ANT+ technology which is wireless interface.

Disadvantages

There are almost no problems associated with it. On the top of the list of flaws is that this heart rate monitor does not read heart rate data in the water. Even though it is waterproof, it cannot do this. However, this is not a major problem. The other problem lies in its size. The 310XT can be quite bulky but this is definitely not a design flaw. The Garmin 310XT was designed and produced to sit on the bars of bikes.

Overall, the 310XT is a great all round heart monitor that is sure to get any heart pumping. If you are looking to hit those hills, run those miles or swim a little further, the Garmin 310 GPS heart monitor is the perfect tool for you.
