{{DISPLAYTITLE:Garmin 910XT Review}}
The {{Garmin 910XT}} is an update to the {{Garmin 910XT}} with extra features, but it's more expensive. Probably the most useful feature for most runners is the calculation of [[Firstbeat| Training Effect]]. It can also record laps when swimming, is better at recording altitude, and can record [[Heart Rate Variability]]. If you can afford the 910XT, then it's a little better than the 310XT, but the 310XT is better value. (The 910XT is available with the [[Heart Rate Monitor]] as {{Garmin 910XT with HRM}}.)

===Garmin 910XT Pros===
* The pros of the 310XT also apply here, so check out the [[Garmin 310XT|Garmin 310XT Review]].
* The 910XT displays and records [[Firstbeat| Training Effect]], an indicator of how hard or effective a training session is.
* The 910XT can record swimming, but it does this with an accelerometer rather than GPS. You have to tell the 910XT how long the pool is, but it will detect each lap, as well as your stroke.
* The 910XT has a barometric altimeter, which is far more accurate at recording altitude changes than GPS.
* The 910XT will not display [[Heart Rate Variability]] but it is possible for it to record [[Heart Rate Variability]] for later analysis. This recording can be enabled from the firstbeat.com ATHELTE software (there's a free trial).
===Garmin 910XT Cons===
* The cons of the 310XT also apply here.
* The biggest downside for most people over the 310XT is the price, which is significantly more than the 310XT.
