Badger 17 Sep 8:28pm, 17 Sep 2021 14184 posts	0 Badger That said, if you really just want another 310xt, mine still worked last time I tried it, and you are welcome to it for whatever you would consider an appropriate donation to CRUK. PM me your address
The_Saint 17 Sep 8:34pm, 17 Sep 2021 6879 posts	0 The_Saint Has anyone suggested DC Rainmaker? Apologies if this is stating the obvious. I wouldn't swim with a watch only rated to 50 metres but many people would - bear in mind that 30 metres is regarded as splash proof. Having said that, my automatic wristwatch is rated to 150 metres but I take that off to wash my hands.

larkim 17 Sep 9:20pm, 17 Sep 2021 15419 posts	0 larkim Why is 30m depth considered splash proof? I'd consider 30m proof as perfectly swimmable - 30m is pretty damned deep!!
larkim 17 Sep 9:25pm, 17 Sep 2021 15420 posts	0 larkim I think fozzy has the same attitude to ££ as I do!! Honestly I think a FR45 will knock the socks off a 310, but all devices today are designed to work "best" with a smartphone. The 645 might provide a good features Vs vfm option though at £189.
Dvorak 17 Sep 9:40pm, 17 Sep 2021 23437 posts	0 Dvorak FR35 works perfectly well plugged in to a PC, presumably the 45 would be the same? (I couldn't download Connect into my Android 5 phone, although afaik it was supposedly compatible down to 4.4. I've since bought an Android 10 phone. They don't have to costs £££100s - mine was under £90.)
rf_fozzy 17 Sep 9:41pm, 17 Sep 2021 15405 posts	0 rf_fozzy Sorry if not having a spare £300 to spend on a new Garmin is trolling.
rf_fozzy 17 Sep 9:44pm, 17 Sep 2021 15406 posts	0 rf_fozzy Thanks for the info everyone. I'll have another look tomorrow. I was hoping for an upgraded version of the 310 that was a little more modern if possible to future proof a bit, but doesn't look like it's possible, so I'll have to go for a basic one or a 2nd hand 920 on eBay
rf_fozzy 17 Sep 9:44pm, 17 Sep 2021 15407 posts	0 rf_fozzy And yes, I looked at DC rainmaker. It recommended a 310xt!
