northern_runner Nov 2010 7:32pm, 15 Nov 2010 68 posts	Quote Pin northern_runner I was considering buying the 310XT, but was having difficulty justifying the cost. Amazon were selling the 110 with HRM last week for £148 so I decided to go with that. I'm really pleased with it so far as it's simple to use and does the basic speed/distance/heart rate that I was looking for without the more complicated training functionality that would probably end up driving me mad!!

Expense was an issue though so I upgraded to the 305 as it was a bargain on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, coming in under £100. I'll just continue estimating my swim distances

arbster Dec 2010 11:18pm, 8 Dec 2010 39 posts	Quote Pin arbster I've been looking today sLickster and have come to the conclusion that, no, it can't. I have noticed that many retailers quote different prices for with and without the HRM, so beware if you want it. Note that the ebay one has no HRM.

eubielicious Feb 2011 10:29am, 14 Feb 2011 34 posts	Quote Pin eubielicious Hmm - I have decided to buy a GPS watch and am looking at the 110. I have tiny weeny wrists for a man (mens watches look really silly on me!) and so don't fancy trying the big chunky models like the 205 or 305. So that's my current thinking, the only debate for me is whether to save up and buy the 405 for its extra features, but OTOH I am not sure if that's just wanting extra toys to play with!
