It looks like my Garmin 910XT is pretty much on its last legs (altimeter dying, although washing may have fixed. Battery doesn't last an hour. Just dies in the middle of an activity and then it restarts). I had been using it as my do it all device for all my training (except trainer and treadmill stuff).
I'm thinking that instead of picking up another tri watch (Polar V800, rumoured 920) I might get a cheaper bike computer and a cheaper running watch. Something like an Edge 500 plus Forerunner 220. Doesn't leave me with swim times, but I could just toss on a cheap digital watch to get splits for races or something. I don't really need a watch for swims, I can enter the information manually into my log. But the run pace and power data needs a computer.
Anyone tried both and have thoughts or tips? Am I just going to go back to wanting my do it all single device.
Thanks for any thoughts and advice.
