Garmin Forerunner 910XT Review

by GPS Wrist Watch Shopper

In our Garmin Forerunner 910XT Review, we summarized the pros and cons mentioned by dozens of users about this true multisport watch. The overall takeaway is that Garmin has done a really good job of creating something that no one else has tried. It’s not perfect, but if you’re looking for a multisport watch that includes swim metrics, you might just be thrilled with the Forerunner 910XT.

Garmin Forerunner 910XT Ratings Score:
4.05 Stars 4.05 out of 5 (63 reviews)

It’s fully customizable and loaded with features, but surprisingly few people complained that it was difficult to use. It’s not a big surprise that the most mentioned “pro” was the swim metrics. The 910XT tracks swim distance, stroke count, pool lengths and it can identify your stroke (most of the time). The most mentioned “con” was the instant pace. Quite a few users felt that it was not accurate. Some felt that it was corrected in a firmware update, and some had other theories, but not everyone was satisfied.

We’ll let our noted pros and cons speak for themselves. The features are listed at the bottom of this page.
