Which Garmin should FreeSoul get? (Read 73 times)

LRB


    Let's put this to rest once and for all. 

      The Polar V800 says it has 50hr charge life in "GPS Low Power Mode", and it monitors your sleep duration and quality!

       

      A watch that tells me to sleep more would be great!

            Since she's going for ultras I suggest a Casio and foot pod.  Ultra joggers aren't too concerned with the accuracy of pace and mileage.

              Hell, I might just become a zen runner......... it sounds cheaper

               

               Okay, after much debate and speculation and back and forth bickering in my head I went on amazon.com to look at those reviews and then noticed that with my prime account the 310 comes up $173.25 instead of the $249.99 so I said fuck it because the 910 is still $399.99 on amazon with no special prime discount. So.... if I really do have bad luck with electronics, then I won't have spent a ton of money on it and if this thing is bigger than I want to wear "outside" of running, I can always wear my 610.

               

                For those of you pro 310's, don't think it was because of you

                        I always wanted to get a 310. Hope it works out for you.
