Garmin Forerunner 910XT GPS-Enabled Device

 

Product Description

Edition: Base Model

You swim. You bike. You run. You obsess over data and details. So do we. And we’ve just perfected your new training partner. Forerunner 910XT is the only all-in-one, GPS-enabled device that provides detailed swim metrics and tracks distance, pace, elevation and heart rate¹ for running and cycling. It sports a sleek profile, comfy wristband and an easy-to-read display.

Dive In

Designed for open water and pool swimming, Forerunner 910XT is water resistant to 50 m (164 ft). It’s our first multisport watch to offer extensive swim metrics, including swim distance, stroke identification, stroke count and pool lengths. It also computes your swolf score to help you gauge your swimming efficiency. The 910XT’s robust design and easy operations make it suited for other water sports, including paddle boarding.

Because it’s GPS-enabled, Forerunner 910XT even captures the path you traveled so you can view it later on a map in our free online community, Garmin Connect™. This feature can help you analyze your open water swimming and adjust your technique as needed.

Transition Seamlessly

Whether you’re training or racing, every second counts, so the 910XT makes it easy and seamless to transition between sports. The auto multisport feature lets you switch sport modes with just 1 button press, so you don’t lose precious seconds in transition. The optional quick release mount allows you to move the 910XT easily from wrist to bike.

Try it Dry

On land, Forerunner 910XT offers many of the features of Garmin’s advanced cycling computers and sport watches to accurately capture your time, distance, speed or pace and more. The 910XT is our first multisport device to incorporate a barometric altimeter for highly accurate elevation data, including ascent, descent and grade. Configurable data fields let you customize multiple training pages for each sport. Set up vibration alerts to give a silent nudge when you hit a split, when it’s time to take nutrition or if you need a little feedback to stay within range of your goals. With these high-level features and up to 20 hours of battery life, the 910XT is ideal for athletes training for ultras or iron distance tris.

Take it to the Next Level

For advanced training, the 910XT is compatible with ANT+™ sensors, including the optional speed/cadence sensor for cycling or premium heart rate monitor (included with some models). You can pair the 910XT with an existing ANT+ heart rate monitor or purchase as an accessory. Track your weight, body fat, body water and six other measurements when using the 910XT with the Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale. The readings are stored on Forerunner 910XT, then automatically sent to Garmin Connect when in range of your computer.

And for those data-driven athletes, the 910XT also is compatible with ANT+ power meters, like Vector™, Garmin’s pedal-based power meter.

Plan, Analyze and Share

Make the most of every workout by uploading to Garmin Connect. Here, you can see your activity on a map and view detailed metrics. You also can use Connect to plan new routes, create and schedule custom workouts and explore activities from other users. Through the magic of ANT+ wireless technology and the tiny USB stick that comes with your 910XT, your workout data automatically transfers to your computer when in range. Mac® and PC compatible.

Costumer Reviews

I sold my 310XT knowing this watch would be great. I heard a lot of people state they would wait for the next gen. That isn't how it works as the hardware isn't' really changed there's just a firmware update offered to fix any bugs. I've used this watch for the swim, bike, and run multiple times now and have to say that it's well worth the money. First, the swim.... The information it gives you is insanely accurate. I found the fact that it knows when you're taking a rest and when your working is great along with the fact it gives the lengths, stroke count, efficiency rating and much more. All great stuff that isn't really offered on a GPS unit. As it is winter I have yet to use it in open water. The only downside that I can see in the water is that if you're doing kick sets without using your arms it doesn't count it as I think that the gyroscope or whatever they use recognizes the motion of your arms. Maybe there will be a fix for this, maybe not. Either way that's not a big deal. The bike is about the same features it's always had and it all works great. The problem is the run. For me on the run the most important things are the pace, hr, distance, time, and cadence. The time, distance, and hr all work great. However, the pace is horrible. It's all over the place. For whatever reason Garmin didn't put the normal smoothing in so it reads 4:50 per mile then 10:15 per mile 2 seconds later. It jumps all over like this constantly and is quite annoying. You can put it on average and that works fine but that doesn't give a up to the minute readout and doesn't help very much especially the longer you get into your run. The footpod helps but you have to calibrate and then remember to always put it on your shoe which is annoying. Plus the footpod is super slow in updating your cadence and that's a down side too.

All in all I would still recommend the watch even as is. The swim information alone makes it worth it. I would like to see a firmware update fix the foot pod issues and the pace issues but other than that this which is about as solid as it comes.

I just received mine a few days ago. It works well for the major functions as mentioned in previous reviews and seem high quality, however you cannot use it as a watch. It is always in exercise mode. I had the Garmin 410 for years which functioned as a watch as well as GPS unit. It was convenient to just walk by my computer and have workouts uploaded. I am not looking forward to rummaging through my athletic bag to get out the 910 in order to get workout data uploaded. Also, when wearing it a watch it was natural to plug in at my nightstand when going to bed. I contacted Garmin to ask about this issue and here was their response:

Unfortunately, unlike some of the smaller fitness watches we offer the 910xt was designed purely for fitness applications.

While you can have Time as a data field in the unit, the unit only has fitness modes.

The reason is that the 910xt is a large watch. I am sure the engineers who designed this could not envision someone wearing this for non-fitness applications. Currently there are not any plans to add such a feature.

From my perspective it seems like a big miss ... but maybe that is unique to me.
