Is the 920XT the end of the line for 9xx devices? Will the next Garmin tri-watch be a 740XT? The release of the pretty, but plasticy run-cum-tri-watch, the Garmin 735XT, is great. As a populist tri watch many may well be happy with its sound feature set. As we’ve seen, though, the “pro gadget wearers” will…
The sad news is that it is another variation on the AMBIT3. It’s the AMBIT3 VERTICAL coming in at just over £300 in WHITE, BLACK, LIME or BLUE (official specs below). It officially supports running power with STRYD (but so do the existing ones). I’m not exactly sure what it is that is new that is…
In an opinion piece on an imagined Garmin Forerunner 930XT I suggested that Garmin should focus on ‘premium aesthetic forms’. To date Garmin have only released a grey/black 920XT that is only available as part of a relatively expensive Tri-Bundle that also includes accessories.

Well I’ve figured out why my V800 wasn’t working with STRYD; but that’s another post (re-pair and bike profiles).

We’re back to using the Suunto AMBIT3 Sport, although the watch makes no difference to the accuracy. Below is a quick reminder of…
I’ve been very excited about the STRYD ‘running power meter’ for probably over a year now. Finally I’ve hit the roads with it. First up, I have to say that ultimately I think we are all going to love this product. However my first experiences have not been great. It’s not very clear at all…
This is a high quality, triathlon sports watch and activity tracker that will cover most of the features you need for training and racing. Positives: It looks great and you have to look hard at it to find bugs. The MOVESCOUNT ‘data ecosystem’ is very good and fairly open with some novel and useful features.…
When buying sports gadgets I suspect that many people are faced with the “choice” ‘what is the most expensive Garmin I can afford?’. Whilst this strategy is generally not a bad one, sometimes it might be good to cast the net a bit wider and be a bit different. Would you have been the person…

Watch firmware v1.5.25 was released today, 25 Mar 2015. Or at least that’s when it installed on my AMBIT3 SPORT. Presumably the same /similar firmware is also available for the other AMBIT3 variants.
