Garmin launches new GPS sports watch
The small model athlete records distance, speed, position of the athlete, heart rate and much more. In addition, the new heart rate monitor enables even more precise determination of calorie consumption. So even fitness enthusiasts get their money's worth. Into the water, out of the water, onto the bike - anyone who moves around in different elements needs a training computer that can do it all. Although heart rate transmission under water is not (yet) technically possible, the Forerunner 310XT is able to provide a triathlete with all the important information from start to finish.
As a multisport training computer, its freely configurable display provides information on
- Time
- Distance
- Speed
- Heart rate
- Track ("where you rode / ran along")
- Cadence (optional)
- Power (optional, compatible with SRM)
Since the Forerunner 310XT is water-resistant to 50 meters, triathletes can wear the watch from the start and switch sport mode at the touch of a button in any discipline. On the bike, it can also be mounted directly on the handlebars thanks to the bracket supplied and therefore does not require an additional bike computer. The optional add-ons also offer a wide range of possible uses: Sensors for cadence and speed (on the bike or during roller training) or when running. Suitable indoor fitness devices can also supply the Forerunner 310XT wirelessly with training-relevant data.
For fitness fans, the small multisport device also calculates calorie consumption based on heart rate variance with particular accuracy. After training, the data can be quickly and easily transferred to a PC or Mac. Thanks to ANT+ transmission technology, this is done automatically and wirelessly. You can then analyze the data on your computer and plan future training sessions. With GarminConnect you can relive your training.
