    Garmin Touchscreen Forerunner

    New Garmin Forerunner 610 with TOUCHSCREEN. Looks too prescriptive for me, but good if you want a wrist-top trainer?

    Ive seen this to very flash.. Wireless uploads, pace, distance, avg pace ect over £300 quid though but it does look a very nice watch.. even has a tracking thing on so if you get lost you can retrace ur steps exact
    I ran and ran until my Muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid, ....And then i ran some more.

    Same ability as the 400series but just looks a bit better.

    the 310XT does everything this does and is more waterproof. I have found it to be excellent and has set ups for swimming bike and running. very versatile. has british grid, will follow a course or breadcrumb trail to find your way back though not used that yet?

    Good, now I just have to wait five years for it to come down to a price I can justify. Does look nice though.

    Re: Garmin Touchscreen Forerun

    Having recently bought the 310XT I have been wondering if I would prefer to have the 610. I agree with Geronimo, the only difference is the Touchscreen and I have decided on reflection that this would probably be a liability. It would be too easy when pulling a rucsac or even clothing on and off to press the wrong section accidentally. And even if the Touchscreen locks, one has to remember to lock / unlock it, which I certainly don't always manage with my iPod.
