Garmin have been busy it would seem. No sooner had the ink dried on the Forerunner 410CX article than news popped into the inbox of the Forerunner 310XT's release.

Aimed squarely at Triathletes and Swimmers, the 310XT is waterproof to 50 metres and is ideal for running, biking and other outdoor sports with distance, pace and location all logged. Heart rate is also calculated using the optional heart rate monitor and like the 405 it offers heart rate-based calorie consumption calculations.

With a battery life of 20 hours it will meet the demand of even the most arduous of sports.

Andrew Silver Garmin’s Recreation Product Manager said: “This watch is a first for Garmin as it actively supports all three disciplines of a triathlon. You won’t miss your milestones as the Forerunner 310XT’s audible signals and/or vibration alerts let you know when you’ve reached integral parts of the race."

As with other Forerunner devices, the 310XT uses ANT+ wireless technology to communicate with a PC or Mac and sync logged data automatically.

Also announced is a new waterproof heart rate monitor, streamlined and rugged enough for swimming activity.

The Forerunner 310XT will be available at an RRP of £299.99 or £329.99 with heart rate monitor.
