Sorry MK, I've fallen in love with Garmin



Michael Kors. I do like you, but you know... its not you- It's me.

There's a new watch in my life, and its a Garmin.


I don't know if I've stated this before.
But I love my new watch.
Have I?
Well I'm saying it now.
If I could scream it I would- ha! But I think my boss would ask me why I'm not working... whoops.

Well.
Lets make this quick.

When I saw the Garmin 910xt, it was love at first sight.

You swim.
You bike.
You run.


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.

Designed for open water and pool swimming, it's water resistant to 50 m (164 ft).
It’s their 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 :)

On land, Forerunner 910XT offers many of the features of their advanced cycling computers and sport watches to accurately capture your time, distance, speed or pace.
The 910XT is their 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.

Ultra.

That's what I'm doing... at least for now!



Well.

I have it.

I use it.

But only for running.

There is something frightening about the swimming feature.
Yes, I use to swim... a lot.

No. I don't really want to know how bad I've gotten over the past few years.

But I guess I have to start somewhere right?


Maybe Friday.


ALSO! The one thing I didn't purchase- because I thought I got the whole package. Is the foot pod?
My questions was....
How do I calculate what I do, say, running on a treadmill or cycling at the gym?
I assume that is what the foot pod is for?

I will have to research it. This watch itself contains a massive amount of options and information that I have only began to touch on.

Till next time,
Peace, love and happiness
