Description:
Includes Heart Rate Monitor
Finally, a GPS-enabled training device
that isn't afraid of the water. The rugged Garmin Forerunner 310XT is
the triathlete's indispensable training tool — a GPS-enabled, swim-proof
trainer that tracks bike and run data and sends it wirelessly to your
computer. This multi-sport device has up to 20 hours of battery life,
tracks distance, pace and heart rate (optional), and goes from wrist to
bike in seconds.
Time Your Swim
The swim-proof Garmin
Forerunner 310XT is waterproof to a depth of 50 meters, so you can wear
it in the pool or the lake to time your swim. And its slim design and
flexible wristband mean Forerunner is easy to wear in any conditions.
Transition Effortlessly
When
you're ready to jump out of the water and onto the bike, Forerunner
310XT moves easily from wrist to bike with the optional quick release
and bike mounts, making the transition between sports effortless.
Forerunner 310XT categorizes multisport activities in one workout and
can also log transition time in the process, so you can analyze your
performance from start to finish.
Collect Workout Data
Garmin
Forerunner 310XT tracks your position precisely with GPS satellite data
and records distance, pace, heart rate (optional), power data (from
ANT+™-enabled third-party power meters) and more. High-sensitivity GPS
and HotFix™ satellite prediction mean Forerunner acquires satellites
quickly and tracks your movement even near tall buildings or under tree
cover. And using innovative ANT+™ wireless technology, Forerunner 310XT
connects seamlessly to an optional heart rate monitor, foot pod and
cadence sensor.
When paired with the Included wireless heart rate
monitor, Garmin Forerunner 310XT continuously tracks beats per minute
and uses heart rate data in advanced calorie computation. Train in a
certain heart rate zone to improve fitness and monitor your level of
exertion.
Run, Sync, Store and Share
Once you’ve logged the
miles, innovative ANT+™ wireless technology automatically transfers data
to your computer when Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups.
The data’s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share
through our online community, Garmin Connect or our optional Garmin
Training Center™ software. You can even plan workouts on your computer
and then send them to your Forerunner.

Garmin® Gives Fitness a Facelift with Forerunner® 310XT, the Waterproof Multi-Sport Watch with Longer Battery Life
Posted April 2, 2009 | 01:00 AM in
OLATHE,
Kan./April 2, 2009/Business Wire — Garmin International Inc., a unit of
Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation,
today announced the Forerunner 310XT – the waterproof multi-sport
solution in Garmin’s popular line of GPS-enabled fitness devices.
Boasting up to 20 hours of battery life and a sleek, comfortable design,
the Forerunner 310XT was announced in preparation for world-class
marathons in Paris and Boston, where it will be on display at Garmin
booths in each location. The Forerunner 310XT will be sold on its own or
packaged with a new waterproof, soft-strap heart rate monitor, which
will be more comfortable than previous models and is expected to be
available during summer 2009.
“The waterproof Forerunner
310XT is the evolution of the iconic Forerunner 305, building off of
what users love and introducing key benefits they’ve requested,” said
Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. “By adding
unmatched wireless connectivity, up to 20 hours of battery life and a
more comfortable build, Forerunner 310XT will bring Garmin’s leading GPS
technology to more athletes and events than ever imagined.”
During
and after the workout, Forerunner 310XT blends the best wireless
connectivity of all of its predecessors in the Garmin fitness family,
syncing wirelessly through ANT+™ technology with Garmin heart rate
monitors and foot pods, compatible third-party fitness equipment and
power meters, and the user’s PC or Mac for automatic data download.
The
swimmable Forerunner 310XT is waterproof to a depth of 50 meters, so
you can wear it in the pool or the lake to time your swim. And its slim
design, simple interface and flexible wristband mean Forerunner is easy
to wear in any conditions. When you're ready to jump out of the water
and onto the bike, Forerunner 310XT moves easily from wrist to bike with
the optional quick release and bike mounts, making the transition
between sports effortless. Forerunner 310XT categorizes multisport
activities in one workout and can also log transition time in the
process, so you can analyze your performance from start to finish. And
the extended battery life – up to 20 hours – means that endurance
athletes can push themselves farther than ever.
Positioned around
the large, vivid display, intuitive buttons provide a simple interface
without sacrificing space on the customizable data screens. And even in
the loudest gym or largest crowd, users won’t miss their milestones as
Forerunner 310XT’s audible signals and/or vibration alerts tell them
when they’ve reached integral parts of their race or workout.
Garmin
is also announcing a new waterproof, soft-strap heart rate monitor that
is streamlined and more comfortable than ever, yet rugged enough to
withstand swimming. Though heart rate data does not transmit while
underwater, this new waterproof strap means that triathletes can plan
ahead by wearing the strap under a wetsuit, shaving crucial seconds off
their transition time. The new soft-strap monitor is expected to be
available during summer 2009.
For out-of-water activities, Forerunner
310XT tracks speed, distance and location accurately and effortlessly,
and users benefit from the precision of heart rate-based calorie
computation. Runners and cyclists can adjust the pace and speed of their
Virtual Partner without stopping in the middle of a workout, and the
Virtual Partner is always on and ready for a challenge.
The
waterproof Forerunner 310XT can be used outdoors or indoors (with an
optional, streamlined foot pod that can fit on laces or under certain
shoes’ insoles), making it the ultimate year-round, all-weather training
tool. And the high-sensitivity GPS receiver with HotFix™ quickly
acquires and sustains satellite reception, whether you’re tackling a
wooded trail or jogging through the urban canyons of skyscrapers. An
optional speed/cadence bike sensor helps cyclists monitor their pedaling
cadence and wheel speed.
Once the workout is done, the training is
far from over. Using ANT+ technology, the Forerunner 310XT sends workout
data to the user’s PC or Mac via automatic wireless data transfer.
There’s no need to take off the watch or bother with cables as the
computer automatically syncs with the Forerunner 310XT once it’s in
close proximity. And the data transfer is a two-way street. Runners,
joggers, cyclists and hikers can send courses, goals and workouts to
their Forerunner 310XT before they begin, and then the data gets sent
back to the user’s computer when the workout is over. Athletes can log
their workouts, track their totals, set goals, share workouts with
coaches, friends and family and participate in an online fitness
community at Garmin ConnectSM — Garmin’s online training site.
The
wireless features of Forerunner 310XT are enabled by ANT+ personal area
network technology. ANT+ is a leading wireless interface protocol
enabling ultra low power applications like fitness monitors. ANT+
offers all the benefits of digital wireless communications with much
lower power consumption than other wireless protocols.
The Forerunner
310XT is the latest breakthrough from Garmin, which has spent 20 years
using technology and innovation to enhance users’ lives, making Garmin a
household name in the automotive, aviation, marine, wireless, outdoor
and fitness industries. To learn more about the Forerunner 310XT and
