"Overall, I am thrilled with this watch. I have had 2 Polar HR monitors in the last 18 years. They lasted forever. Bought my wife the 205 about 4 years ago. This watch is a major step up from everything I've ever had, and so far has nothing that I would be disappointed in. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new product."velocomp

(5)

Ease of installation

This product was easy to set up. Just plug in the Ant+ stick and it connected. Easy as pie.

(4)

Ease of use

Very intuitive for someone familiar with HR monitors and electronics. Would be nice if I could customize through my computer rather than on the watch.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Very solid even though it is smaller than my wife's forerunner 205.

(5)

Fit

I have smaller wrists, but still fits well. It is a little bulky on the swim, but I'll get used to it.

(5)

Comfort

Fits a lot better than the older 205 and 305. Never had a 310, so no comparison. Feels similar to my Polar that I just gave up.

(5)

Adjustability

Tons of room for adjustment in the wristband.

(5)

Value

With this watch your getting a running watch, bike computer and swim watch. For me it replaces my nike+ ipod, and Polar HR and Bike computer. Great value for a replacement.

(5)

Appearance

Looks like a big sport watch.

Performance

So far in 1 swim, it was dead on accurate. Very interesting for swimming, but I need to concentrate on the swim vs watch. Just a new toy factor. For 2 runs, one, a trail run was perfect and easy to use. The other was a run in downtown Denver, and I did lose the GPS several times. Still need to calibrate the foot pod. (No bike yet)

Strengths

It does everything. 100s of data fields to display. Very accurate. Waterproof for swimming. Very easy to setup and use. Garmin Connect Software is great. Great view of each workout. Syncs wirelessly, and lets you do some great analysis on your workouts.

Weakness

Cost. After buying the Foot Pod, and speed and cadence sensors for 2 or 3 bikes, and a quick release (possibly), I will have spent close to $600. Don't tell the wife. :)
