    What are the main differences between the 305 & 410? Have a 410 lined up as xmas present. Should I stick with it?

    I'm not being lazy, I would check myself but most sites are blocked here in work, including Garmin site.

    Thanks

    Probably better asking this on the Garmin thread, but the chief differences are:
    305 is: much bigger, slightly older technology (takes longer to acquire satellites), supports multi-sport activities, has all hard buttons, four data fields per screen. Supports bread-crumb trails.

    410 is: Newer, uses hard buttons and a bezel, significantly smaller, three data fields per screen.

    Both have approximately the same battery life. Both support advanced workouts. Neither is water-proof (the 310 is though).

    That was good value for money. Did you get one?

    Upgraded to 610 from 305. Regret it in highinsight. The only benefit is it's smaller and vibrates for alerts. It is not much quicker picking up the sat tbh.

    The difference is, I like my 910xt! With €60 you could buy yourself another Motorolla MOTOACTV GPS thingy-mabob!

    For anyone who is interested, Amazon.co.uk's black Friday sales will include the Garmin Forerunner 110, at 12:44pm this afternoon. Wouldn't be a big fan of the watch myself, based on the feedback I have read, but someone might like to take a punt, particularly if it's heavily discounted.

    The Forerunner 310xt + HRM is back on sale today as part of Amazon's Black Friday sale, at 2:45pm. It will probably be at the same price as it was on Tuesday (£149.99 sterling). If so, that's a very solid price (normally £209.99), but according to ThisRegard, it was sold out within two minutes on Tuesday, so if you want it, you'll have to be quick.

    If you have relatives (or a work head-office) in the US, this is a cracker of a deal: Garmin Forerunner 410 with HRM, for $149.99. That's around €116 in new money. You'd have to ship to a US address though and somehow get it home.

    Krusty, seems to be plenty of pros to this watch. Are there any cons that you can share? Looking for a watch purely for running btw.

    The bezel can be quite annoying to use, particularly if you have to use it during a run. Most people learn to just lock it when you start the run though and ignore it until the end of your run. Also the battery life is 8-10 hours. Perfect for most needs, but if you were heading away for a weekend of long runs, you might need to bring a charger. Solid watch otherwise.

    The Bezel is the outside face of the watch. It is touch-sensitive, and is used to manipulate the menus/options of the watch.

    Last few lightening deals have been 6-7%, if you do order consider parcel motel if you don't have a UK address for delivery.

    Delivery from Wiggle should be free. they only charge for expedited delivery (courier) or a cheeky Ryan-air like option to move your procurement to the top of the list.
