"The Garmin 310XT is a feature rich product that is great for multi-sport athletes! Probably the biggest challenge is getting an understanding how all these features work and using them to improve performance.
All in all, I am happy with mine!"kenj

(4)

Ease of installation

The software installation for the ANT wasn't too bad for me, I am not real good with that type of stuff.

(4)

Ease of use

Having a FR305, many of the features are similar. I am looking forward to some of the features that are new to the 310 XT. I may even upgrade my Power Tap to wireless so I can use the 310 to collect the data.

(5)

Quality of Construction

No complaints here, still a little bigger than I would like, but better than the 305!

(4)

Fit

Again, no complaints.

(4)

Comfort

Better than the 305!

(5)

Adjustability

The band has a lot of adjust ability.

(0)

Durability

Haven't really tested this yet, but summer biking season is coming, as well as OWS!

(4)

Value

It's pricey, but if you use it to its maximum potential, it gives you a lot for the price.

(4)

Appearance

You'll never wear it out as a watch, but for a sports device it isn't bad.

(5)

Customer Service

Bought it from Amazon, they did fine. I have not had a reason to use Garmins customer service.

(5)

Performance

Great so far.

Strengths

I enjoy being able to set up multiple screens for each discipline. I am looking forward to using it for a race now that it is water proof and can be worn for the swim. The battery life is a great improvement over the 305.
It will also be nice when I upgrade the PT and it will be my computer for recording power data.

Weakness

I don't know that I am a fan of the upgrade HR strap. It just doesn't seem as comfortable to me, but it could just be that it is different.
