 39 |  Subject: Budget GPS watch to buyI'm on a budget and would like to limit my purchase to under $200, or even lower if possible. Any recommendations on a good GPS watch to buy for tris. I'm not into all the gizmos, simple is good. A heart rate monitor would be nice, but not a requirement. |

| 74 Post Falls, Idaho | Subject: RE: Budget GPS watch to buy You should be able to find an older Garmin 305 for around $50 used and will provide run/bike data. Had one for a couple years and enjoyed it. If you want the basics and cheap, this is well-worth considering. A 310 can be found for well under $200 and provide more battery life and open water swim metrics. A 910 has a smaller and more attractive profile with even longer (IM distance) battery life and pool swim metrics and can be found $150-200 used. Edited by rframe 2015-06-16 3:01 PM |

| DC | Subject: RE: Budget GPS watch to buy Originally posted by Swimbikeron garmin forerunner 15 or forerunner 10 I previously had a "nicer" Garmin Forerunner (bike cadence, etc). I now have the FR 15 & I really like. It does as advertised... w/out any fuss. |

I used mine until two weeks ago when I got a 920xt and my wife still uses hers. I got a 310xt this last fall and love it. Brand new and got it for a great price. Maybe not as many bells and whistles as the 920, but it's a great watch. |
