Hi guys,

Looking for some input. Thinking of getting the updated Garmin 920XT. Wondering if any of you have an opinion on the Tri Bundle versus the watch only.
Is it really worth spending the extra money on the Tri the bundle or is the watch only sufficient?

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

The Tri Bundle looks like it comes with the Swim HR Strap and Run HR Strap and the quick release kit. The Watch only bundle is just the watch. The Run bundle comes with the HR for the run.

I'd get the Run Bundle. I don't do HR training in the pool.

Spend the extra money on the Speed and Cadence sensor.

But if you want black and gray you'll have to go with the Tri Bundle.

I personally would opt for the tri bundle if you swim in the pool and care about hr metrics in that discipline. If not just get the watch only or the watch with the hrm run.

I like and use HRM data in my training/racing. I think you could get by with a 920xt and hrm-tri of you want to cover the gambit with a single HRM.

Initially I bought the bundle with the HRM-Run strap and bought the HRM-Tri separately when it came out... it works great for me under my tri kit. If you did a lot of swimming without something covering your HRM then you'd want the HR-Swim too but my HRM-Tri has stayed put the few times I've swam bare chested with it.

Really like my 920xt by the way. Logging ALL of my workouts is super easy, integrates with my companies fitness program, loads in Training Peaks for my Coach, does a bunch of other stuff... sleep, swim metrics, etc. Really been a great investment for me.
