Got a 910xt for my birthday and don't need two GPS watches. It's in great shape, never been in the water and holds charge well. Heart rate monitor version; it sells new for around $190 online, has ant+ stick, and you can have the strap too if you want it. Don't think I have original box, but will pack it well.

I may be interested but after reading dcrainmakers review i'm a little wary about some of it's features. What has been your experience with it? Thanks.

I agree with Ray (rainmaker) that the bezel can be a pain, but I haven't had any problems with it. I usually lock it when I run, but it's easy enough to set up, and it's super easy to use while walking/stretching (such as to view the run pace and distance history after the run). I also agree that if you want to mount it on your bike or swim with it, it's not easy -- but it's designed as a runner's watch and that's what I use it for, so I didn't experience those complaints. I would keep it, except I can't justify having two gps watches if someone else could get good use out of it!

I will add to the above. I have the 405 and use it for cycling and running. No problems what so ever, but you should lock the bezel before starting any activity. One item that dcrainmaker's review did not cover or may have changed since his review, is the ability to setup the screens to scroll. This works when it is locked. IMO, This feature makes the bezel a non-factor once you have the screens set-up to your liking. I scroll through several different screens, I am a data junky.

The only time I interact with the bezel is to switch between bike and run (not required, but labels your uploads correctly and you won't have to manually edit). They also now make a velcro strap for it and it is well worth it.
