Hi all, My other half and I are considering getting a garmin forerunner as we are fed up of carrying our phones and using apps! I've read so many reviews but still ant decide which would be best for our running, and a bit of cycling! I've kind of narrowed it down to the 610 or 310xt... But can't work out which is better for mainly running! The biggest thing for us would be the gps route tracking and the ability to have the watch tell us when we are failing at a set pace. Any advice and experience of either watches, or any garmins for that matter, out there? Much appreciated J

I bought a 310xt and have nothing bad to say about it, I appreciate its for a bit more than may be required for running however its future proof for when I decide to get biking and swimming.
I know some people think its quite big however I see it as an advantage, who doesnt want a big display? And anyway it doesnt feel big on, its really light and comfortable.
If I didn't care about the long battery life and waterproofing I would go for the 610 as it looks better!

I have the 410 (which is not one you have asked about, but hey!) I habve been using it for 3 weeks and it's great bike and running. It has all the doings I need, the ANT+ hook up with my PC is great AND it links to Strava for all of the app related fun!
The thing that decided me? £135 from Amazon!
I have the 310xt and find it very good. I like the large screen and, particularly, the long battery life. I have small wrists and wear it over a sweatband - but I need to do that for other sports watches as well.
