* The 920XT will record your personal best performances, such as fasted 5K or longest distance. These are a nice novelty, but for most people you won't be setting PR's on a regular enough basis for it to add much value.
=Garmin 920XT Cons=
* There is no way of displaying your current pace from the [[Footpod]] while using GPS for overall distance and course. Like all GPS watches, the 920XT does not have sufficient GPS accuracy to give useful current pace information. For situations where pacing is critical, such as running a marathon, a Footpod works better. (This is another situation where [[Connect IQ]] could enable apps to provide this functionality in the future.)
* The 920XT includes an internal accelerometer to give you an idea of pace and distance while running on a treadmill without a footpod, but I found the accuracy was rather poor. I've yet to come across a watch that can reasonably estimate your pace from the movement of your wrist, nor does it seem likely that this functionality is practical.
* You need to have the new HRM for the new features. It will display Heart Rate and calculate [[Firstbeat| Training Effect]] with the older Garmin HRM, but not Ground Contact Time or Vertical Oscillation.
* The 920 XT is not unattractive in a rather plastic way, but it's nowhere near as elegant and stylish as the [[Polar V800]] or the [[Fenix 3]].
