Garmin Forerunner 310XT

Garmin Forerunner 310XT

We’ve got a new Garmin Forerunner. What’s the good news about this one? It is waterproof! Which means triathletes can wear this GPS enabled training aid without worrying about ruining it.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT can last up to 20 hours on a single charge and can be used in various activities; not just triathlon training.

The new waterproof Forerunner 310XT kept all the good features of its predecessor Forerunner 305, but added highly requested features such as wireless connectivity, longer battery life, and of course water-resistance. Garmin Forerunner 310XT is going to sell for $350.
