I ordered one, but I don't think Garmin is shipping them just yet. After I get and use I'll post how it's working.

My quick mount arrived just last week. My early impressions are positive.
I like the rubber wrist strap much better then the strap that came with the unit. It’s more comfortable, and does not get sweat soaked.
The quick release system works well. Easy to twist on and off.
There is no ‘swim goggle’ strap mount. The extra mount for the old strap.
I got it on a Friday – and raced with it that Sunday. I found the 301 will fit very nice under your swim cap without having the old strap attached to it, just at the base of your skull. Just before the swim I slid it under my cap, and put my swim goggle straps over and under the 301.
As I ran into T1, I took it out of my cap, and attached it to the bike mount.
As I got close to T2, I took it off the bike mount and put it on my wrist mount. The wrist mount is so light I wore it for the swim and bike – I hardly noticed I had it on.
All in all – worth the $25.00.

I second the positive impression. I haven't swam with it, but it's very convenient for the bike and run. The bike mount can be turned 90 degrees so it can be mounted on aerobars, base bar or stem. I also agree on the plastic strap, it's more comfortable than the heavy nylon.
