I do. I love it. I never owned a 910 or 920, so can't really compare, but if something were to happen to mine I'd get another one.
Aside from the screen being round and that it lacks a quick disconnect feature (well, there is one, but apparently it's intolerable to use ), I've not heard any complaints when compared to the 920. Personally, I have zero complaints about the watch. I've used it for running indoors, running outdoors, trail running, biking indoors, biking outdoors, pool swimming, bricks, walking, hiking, and snow skiing. I've used the HRM RUN, and the bike speed & cadence sensors and never had issues with them.
I've also pre-programmed courses into the watch for cycling which has been helpful on new routes. You can also get a golf app for it now if you play which is a bonus for me.
Back to your original question, however, I've never used it in an actual triathlon since I just got it at Christmas. My first one is coming up in June. I am very confident it will work flawlessly in that race. |
