left my review here, but have moved it to the reviews section. so move along...

I'm interested in giving this a try. Especially for the swim and longer battery life.

I just got my first Garmin and am loving it so far. The range of info it gives is quite cool.

Have had mine since early Feb. of 2010 and love it. I have the bike sensor and newer foot pod for indoor training which helps with motivation. Picks up satellite a little faster than previous models...under a minute. Best of all, it's waterproof!

Without a doubt an terrific training tool. Satellite picks up much quicker than previous model. Is water proof even though gps is on and off during open water swimming but is very accurate when not in water... lasts muuuuch longer than last model as well.

I LOVE THIS THING!!!

Most awesome tool in my tri bag or on my desk!!!

Most notably.

I can program it to do my 5 part brick workout where I

1-Bike 30 miles from Oceanside Ca. down the coast to La Jolla Cove...Then hit stop button till i'm ready for swim

2-Once I get my wetsuit on, ready to swim I start clock again and change to next event by simply hitting "Lap" button and change to what is called "Other" as there is no swim mode, a paddle board but not a swim. I take it off my wrist and place it under my swim cap so the satellites pick up the signal and record my course while swimming...then

3-When i come ashore i pull the swim cap off and hit stop till i get the wetsuit off and ready to run the shoreline in my tri shorts with 310 on my wrist and hit clock to start and "Lap" button to change events again and start running.

4-Stop when i finish run till I get wetsuit on again and get wrist computer under swim cap to swim back to La Jolla Cove.

5-Stop when come ashore and get ready for ride home and start up and change event to bike again and stop when i get home.

I upload it onto my mygarmin account and it's all there...I can even e-mail the data to friends and when i had a coach to him. People always are "WOW" when they see how it works from the e-mails and how it charts you on google earth maps as well as records time and date and place.

Just love this thing!!!
