+1. Causes alot of concerns formme with the vector pm. They obviously don't get sports and data analysis.

Now if they could sort out a soft strap that works that would be great too

Bambaata

if they could sort out both premium and old hard strap twud be great! Neither have worked 100% for me.

You mean like the one being released with the 600 forerunner Mloc?

I'll keep my €80 for now and wait for some actual proof that it works.

Edit: maybe I only paid €60

Plenty of new problems added in unfortunately which I've experienced myself.

Watch has stopped transferring data since 3.7
310XT FW 3.70 - Custom Workout Alerts

Wish I'd read the Garmin forums before I upgraded as seems no way back to the older firmware

haven't had those problems myself but I still have to run my custom data cleaner on the data as the 310xt still includes stops as elapsed time.

All fixed again with yet another version of the firmware - 3.9.

• Fixed the rapid fire auto pause issues being seen with cycling
• Fixed the countdown timer
• Fixed an issue with custom workouts showing instantaneous pace instead of average pace
• Fixed an issue with high alerts in custom workouts causing the activity not to upload to GC
• Improved elevation gain and loss
• Improved map drawing
• Fixed issues with courses
• Fixed issues with heart rate zones
• Fixed an issue with the naming of custom workouts
• Fixed an issue with locations being deleted after updating software
• Fixed the odometer not accruing mileage
• Fixed an issue where lap times were always recorded in whole seconds

Data is still dirty and I don't find it locks on satellites as well these days.

Just found out that Polar have released a hybrid strap that will work with the new RX5 and older SRMs..... may be time to move to something that does HR

Just read elsewhere that the 310xt is to get TSS/IF/NP in a month or two.

Haven't seen any problems with it getting the satellite lock myself & I'd agree with you about the HRM as either I'm developing the heart of a humming bird (HR above 200 most of the time) or the strap is screwed
