Want a 310xt cos it's waterproof (as I killed my Garmin 305 in the rain yesterday, though it may be the hard life it's had for the last 4,000 miles that did it!) and longer battery life. Not bothered about the HRM strap, but the charger and ANT stick need to be included. Thanks! :-)G

But I was looking for something that will survive the water. The rubber buttons on my 305 have perished. Hence looking for a 310xt. Emmett - I'll fmail you to ask how much. Thanks. :-)G

So, I bought a 210 as they are waterproof and a bit more simple (have proper buttons, the bezel thing on the 405 is rubbish in the rain). Now I check though the 310 is now a similar price to the 210. I suppose everyone wants a 610 nowadays. Splash the cash G

Just had a look and they're doing a new 310 for £150 delivered or a refurbished one for £142 ( seems a no-brainer ! ), compared to about £190 elsewhere Never actually used handtec myself, but think they are are an established UK business, or if a bit doubtful then you coukld use one of the main on-line shops that do a price match, eg Wiggle

Which is fine, I hardly used HRM on my 305. Emmet is checking out what the 405 is going for, but if the 310 is only £130 or so, I can probably stretch to that! :-)G
