Does this watch gives you distance/pace when swimming outdoors?

No, it does not. You could wear it under your swim cap and have the running mode on. However, I do NOT recommend this watch. When training for my tri I used a regular swim watch and never tested this watch out in the water because I didn't think I needed to. Well, the day of the tri water got in the watch. It's not entirely waterproof. I've had the watch less than it year and it turns on and off (probably water damage). Bad buy.. Hope this helps!

The 310 xt does give pace, distance and time for running, swimming and biking..I use it for tri athlons.

Hi M., The forerunner 10 is great for running/walking but it doesn't count steps. The watch records your distance in mi/km. When you upload your workouts you can map your runs/walks to keep track of you best routes. Hope this answers your question! Cheers,CH

I haven't tested any other swimming watch but I can say that the Forerunner 910XT has really impressed me in regards to its precision on detecting the style you're swimming, strokes, lap counts on swimming pool besides it's the best running/biking gps watch to me. Hope this helps! ;)

It is not a GPS mapping device. It is a runners watch that will five you distance, time, pace, average pace, calories burned and heart rate (with heart rate monitor).

I'm not sure. I just set the time and ran with it... I'm thinking it might be the stopwatch and the other might me the depth in meters when diving. Not sure tho just a guess

The Timex website says that it is water resistant to 100 meters. Not sure about swimming laps though.

Yes, for the most part. However, I've noticed that it has occasionally been off, mostly overestimating my speed and distance. My other complaint is that it takes a few minutes to locate the gps signal. It also seems that the watch functions better when fully charged.

Yes. The strap around your mid-section is barely noticeable which measures your heart rate. The watch itself is about that same size as any other sport watch.

Definitely. I use it for cross fit, which is heavy weights or kettle bells for multiple 30 second increments followed by 3 min of running/sprints. I can see where my max heart rate is (always when running) and see how fast my heart rate comes down when getting a drink between sets, etc. It's really a great watch and has outlasted all my past HRM!

It does not. It keeps track of your distance and time only. What is nice is that you can run where you want without paying attention to any route. At the end of your run you can 1) See how far you ran 2) See your time for each mile of your run 3) See your average pace for the entire run and 4) During your run you can see your current pace. You will need to know yourself how to get to your destination.

Yes,When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

Yes, the running feature works well for walking and hiking. If you're also a runner, however, then walks will really pull down the average speed in your history. You can work around this by creating custom spreadsheets and downloading the data off the watch, but there is not a separate "walk" feature on the watch.

No. It is not good for swimming. Even running it seems that the sweet enters the watch.

I use this watch both outdoors and on the treadmill. I paired it with the Garmin Foot Pod and believe it is very accurate. I have been using the same treadmills for years now and am acutely in tune with my pace. Just to be sure, I prohibit the GPS on my watch sometimes and the distance/time is on par. I actually find this watch more accurate than previous Garmins that I have owned (specifically the 610), which needed to be calibrated all the time and funky paces were always being registered, despite battery changes. Even with this watch, which I happen to love because of aesthetics and functionality, I always overcompensate for my distance on the treadmill by running between 10 and 20 minutes longer.

Yes, but I don't as I don't want to risk it. GPS wont work under water so essentially a stopwatch. My bro sent me here for more infohttp://www.dcrainmaker.com/2009/09/garmin-forerunner-310xt-in-depth-review.html

Yes and No. It will track your distance for the day and tell you what the number of steps equate to in miles. Online it will show a breakdown of how much time was sitting, walking slowly-moderately and/or running. If you make note of your number of steps prior to your run and immediately afterwards, you can figure out your distance by googling the equation.

What I've experienced with my watch is it is much better responding accurately when you are running more of a constant pace, current pace, but if you start sprinting it takes a bit to catch up. I hope this helps.
