Do they have watches, sub 250, that can be used for swimming OR running?
Even just the swimming would be great, cause the price point and being forced to carry an iPhone around kind of defeated the purpose of buying the Apple Watch for me.
- JonLim 12y agoNevermind, my own question got answered by looking up the Garmin Forerunner 910XT: http://sites.garmin.com/forerunner910xt/ http://sites.garmin.com/forerunner910xt/ Run, swim, AND bike. Excellent.
- zimpenfish 12y agoThe swim stroke tracker is hit-and-miss for me (sometimes guesses the wrong stroke and length points) but that probably says more about my swimming (which is awful) than the watch. But I can definitely vouch for the excellent battery life, resilience to water, and usefulness on a bike laden with sensors. The only gripe I have is that you can have multiple sets of bike sensors but not anything else. That and their approach to OS X software basically being "well, be grateful you're only 2 years behind the PC and that we acknowledge you at all."
- JonLim 12y agoGood to know, thanks! Sadly, it might be outside of my price range. It does look like it's the perfect thing for tracking my workouts, but damn is that one hell of an investment.
- count 12y agoIt's also due to be replaced any day now (it's the last piece of the Garmin series that hasn't been updated in for.ev.er.). Once the new version comes out, 910xt's should be pretty cheap to pickup.
- zimpenfish 12y agoI believe the Fenix 2 has already replaced it - http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/03/garmin-fenix2-multisport.html http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/03/garmin-fenix2-multisport....
