IвЂ™m not privy to GarminвЂ™s market segmentation strategies or customer profiles. HereвЂ™s a comparison chart to other Forerunner models from 4.

310XT вЂ“ thin, good battery life, a waterproofed 305, open water.

910xt вЂ“ thinner, good battery life, waterproof, swim metrics, open water.

The more expensive the Garmin multi-sport watch, the thinner it gets. The 910XT has special pool swimming metrics whereas the 310XT can вЂjustвЂ™ be used in water with GPS. The 310XT and 910XT are waterproof for swimming and have a better battery life than the 305. The forerunner 305 and 910XT use a similar menu structure to the 310XT. Your old hard strap thatвЂ™s ANT+ compatible should work. Note:п‚§ Cheaper prices typically EXCLUDE the soft HR Strap. I use an old Polar Mount fastened on with ties and tape.

A bike cadence (pedalling/speed) sensor for on-road cadence, turbo trainer cadence and turbo trainer speed.

Make sure you get the latest model to ensure full compatibility. п‚§A foot pod to measure footfall/running cadence or that can be used on an indoor trainer for pace.Lots of bits of paper that you may well never read.

A series of bits for international mains-based charging.An Ant+ USB stick for computer connectivity (like Bluetooth).A clip on USB charger for the internal watch battery.A soft Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) strap + press on HRM unit.I do triathlon, Duathlon and 5k running to a good AG level and IвЂ™m a bit stats- and gadget-obsessed so hopefully I am able to give you a practical and objective insight into your potential next purchase. I talk through the experience of setting up and using this watch. вЂњWhat extra do I get from upgrading to this from the Forerunner 305 or what am I missing out by not getting a Forerunner 910XT?вЂќ.вЂњWhy is it good for triathlon/Duathlon?вЂќ and.I might consider upgrading to the feature-packed, more expensive, Garmin 910XT instead. The вЂacid testвЂ™: Would I buy another if stolen? Answer: Yes, I would certainly get another Garmin. For an extra ВЈ30-ВЈ40 above the price of a discontinued Forerunner 305 it is certainly worth it. If you are buying it for a Duathlon or for 5k running itвЂ™s all you need in any case and perfect for the job. I would say that the 310XT is the optimal choice for your money. So for what the 310XT is trying to do, it is VERY good.

However those bells and whistles come at an additional price. If you want all the possible bells and whistles you might consider the 910XT. It will do most of the important things you will need for your triathlon racing and training. Summary: This is a great watch for a serious triathlete. My suggestion is to try all the things I listed above, that garmin tech support reps have recommended.ДЄs mentioned elsewhere, if the workout went to garminconnect, then there is a copy of it locally on your computer (in AppData, if on Microsoft Windows), and you can track down that tcx file and upload it to RA.Garmin 310XT August 2012 ВЈ1 вЂ“ approaching retirement in 2015 There are threads on the garmin techsupport forums about this, and there are several threads on RA about this.

Garmin techsupport will tell you to upgrade to the latest version of all software, and try shutting off computer and watch, and try recording a new workout, and try re-pairing watch, and try resetting watch (working up to the hard reset that may delete all your data). But, there seems no easy way to use it to upload to RA, because the watch isn't listed in the RA watch dropdown - which I'm sure is a result of it not being listed in the Ant Agent dropdown.

It still has the watch info in the AppData subdirectory, *and* it will still upload new workouts to garmincomment. It hasn't really forgotten about the watch. The symptom that I see is that the Ant Agent acts like it forgot the 310xt exists - it is no longer listed in Device Settings. It works for some people all the time, and sometimes screws up for some people.
