Comments: I picked up a FR310XT in DEC 2011 and have used it at least once per day for 5 weeks now. Setup was easy right out of the box, and I was surprised that even the ANT+ agent setup wasn't painful on two different computers. Everything works flawlessly, and satellite sync is WAY faster than my old FR305. The strap also seems sturdier, and the premium HRM more comfortable. I do get crazy-high HR data issues in the first 2-5 minutes of a run, which is probably from static electricity from technical apparel in wintertime.

Comments: The 310XT gets problems of not being able to find any satellites. Then when you e-mail Garmin they give you a list of things to try, none of which work... So there are definitely better watches than this, for less money. It was great when it was working, but that only lasted about 3 months for me at least.

Comments: I have had my unit for less than 24 hours - In the first 15 minutes I easily setup up the watch & paired the heart rate monitor. After work, I went running with the new Forerunner unit. It was EASY to use and READ throughout my run. Early this morning I setup the ANT+ which easiliy paired with the unit. I uploaded the history and route to the connect.garmin.com website with no problems at all. Then I stared in amazement at the recorded details of my run with pace, elevation changes, the exact route, HR zones, etc. I can highly recomment this product! Now that I have this excellent technology, the only hard part that remains is the work of actually burning up the trails!
