Garmin, in recent years, GPS sport watch its market suitability. The first Garmin watches, 101, 201 and 301 have been ahead of its time, but the next generation of GPS watches released a few years (the 205, 305 and 405) had a lot of GPS chipsets, so as to engage the signal improves significantly faster than their predecessors, and perhaps more importantly, remain frozen.
If you're looking to take their training to a new level, you should consider a GPSobserved has to offer.
A GPS clock can measure speed and distance and plot an exact course runs that can be viewed on your computer. There is a fitness analysis coach, trainer and essential tool all in one, you can set the speed or pace alerts to notify you when you are too fast or too slowly allowed, plus much more.
In April 2009, Garmin Forerunner 305XT Garmin update on a comprehensive analysis and feedback from the athletes on the basishas led to some interesting changes.
The first way is different from the 310CX, Forerunner 305, it's appearance.
As the Forerunner 305 watch is big and clumsy and not see the passing of each day, but with extra dimensions is much more functionality. The 305XT is the same large screen, but in the face of a stylish silver and blue to red, 305 against 205.
Incidentally, the 205 and 305 Garmin watches are identical except the 205 does not support a heart rateMonitoring devices, the new 310XT not two different models.
The new watch has the same keyboard layout, the only difference between the two buttons on the front of the clock are smaller then its predecessor. It is unclear whether this advantage or disadvantage, and in practice, but I think it is not very different.
Perhaps the most well-known advantage of this watch is the fact that the Forerunner 310CX is water resistant to 50 meters. The Forerunner 305 is waterproofIPX7, which means it can be immersed in water at 1 meter for 30 minutes without damage. While triathletes in this function are pleased to point out that the heart rate and GPS functions will not work while you are swimming.
Never-the-less, can use this watch for your bathroom without fear of damage that will appeal to many of his time.
The other big advantage of the Forerunner 310XT 20 hours of battery life.
GPS watches use a lot of energy when it iscomplete GPS mode. The Forerunner 305 has a battery service life of about 8-10 hours. While this may be enough for most of the activities of some ultra-endurance events extend well beyond this limit. With a + 100% increase in battery life about 20 hours, the new watch athletes ultra clear Forerunner, which was the problem boundary.
The watch comes with a Garmin rechargeable battery. While jacking in charge during the night is not a big business, not dealing with eachNight is definitely a positive change for most users.
Other improvements include better GPS receiver with HotFix addition, heart rate-based calorie computation and wireless connection to a computer via a USB ANT. The wireless setup is the same as the Forerunner 405, but in contrast to the 405 for the 310XT is supported units to be transferred to the device.
As new updates are exciting, assumes the function of some 310XT note that silent downgrade from Garmin. There is no supportFor distances, while the Forerunner 205 and 305 in the memory 50 routes and not just a workout, a quick start mode, where you enter time, distance or calorie goals can store and ready to go.
So in summary, the Forerunner 310XT is different from 205 and Forerunner 305 watches in this regard:
New sleek look and feel 50 meters water resistant Heart on calorie counting Advanced 20 hours battery life Improved GPS reception Wireless connection to PC or Mac No support for routes Notsimple training Overall, the new Garmin watch is not revolutionary, but it's definitely very cool! It has almost all the functions of the 205 and 305 watches, less the exclusions noted.
Swimmers and triathletes, the new features waterproof Garmin welcome new watch, but, like GPS and heart rate measurement does not work in water, probably fail to deliver something similar to what these athletes. Ultra-endurance competitors will appreciate the increasedThe battery life and is a worthy purchase for this benefit alone.
