Garmin Forerunner 410

Anyone have one and mind giving their opinion. Group-on has it for 150.

I plan on getting the speed/cadence sensor as well. I currently have nothing right now.

The bezel is a bit of an annoyance, especially when wet. I’d recommend picking up a 310xt on heartratemonitorusa.com for less than 200$

x2. The bezel thing is a deal breaker. 310xt is a way better device, though it is a lot bigger and a lot oranger.

I own one. Use it every now and then, but you always have to lock the bezel so it just not change the screen when wet or if you bump it. Would never buy the 410 again. I would by my 310 again. Love it.

I just got myself a 410 for xmas and like it so far. I have only used the bezel with gloves so I don’t know what its like to use under any other circumstances. I didnt like how big the 310 was when i tried it on and I wouldn’t use the 310 enough in the water to justify the size.

Anyone using the 10? I’m looking for a GPS watch for my wife but she hates the other Garmins because they are too big.

Brad,

I use the 410 as my primary run watch. The device has an extensive feature set that includes up to three user-configurable data fields on three screens, virtual pacing, custom interval workouts, and multiple alarms. I use two screens - one for track intervals and one for the road, and make extensive use of custom workouts and virtual pacing. Although I didn’t consider it to be a significant feature initially, I’m spoiled by the ANT+ wireless data transfer capability. I sit at the computer after a run and data is uploaded automatically to Garmin Connect.

The bezel took a little getting used to and although it has its limitations, e.g. it can be problematic with gloves, I’ve only found it to be a minor inconvenience. After initialization, the watch’s two buttons, Lap/Reset and Start/Stop are used most frequently.

The user manual is online, you might want to take a look for more information.

Thanks everyone. I went ahead and got the 410.

I like the 310xt, expect for the size… and color. haha
