    Hi Guys,

    looking for some help here on what device to buy for triathlon?

    Looked at garmin Edge 500 but that seems to be mainly for the bike any recommendations for one that will do all three events?

    Thanks,
    JD.

    Currently have a 310xt myself and great watch.

    If buying now it'd have to be a 910xt which tracks indoor swims also and is smaller.
    Some reported issues but updates will iron them out if you have any.

    check out www.dcrainmaker.com for quality reviews and about a million pics :D

    Not sure price difference between the 2 at the moment... That may decide your choice also as both track outdoor swims, bikes (indoor and outdoor) and runs (indoor and outdoor with footpod present).

    I have the 910 and love it. Great for the pool.

    At a lower entry point, the 305 is a great watch for the bike and run. Granted you can't use it for swimming but if you're on a tight budget it;s a great watch.

    If I was starting out and had the €400/500 to shell out it would have to be the 910. I have the 310xt and it has been a great tool and never given me any trouble.

    I'm no lookin to upgrade to the 910 so if anyone is interested I haven't yet got round to it but I am looking to sell my 310xt :D. Comes with quick release kit.

    I've got the Timex Global Trainer. I read all the reviews before deciding on it over the Garmins and I'm happy with it so far. Comes with a bike mount too.

    I hope to get a 910 in the next while. I have a 305 at the moment and i'll sell that to help fund it:)
