Forerunner 310XT crowned top innovation for triathlon

The recent 220 Triathlon awards saw the Garmin Forerunner 310XT multisport GPS named Innovative Product of the Year. The award, voted by magazine readers and seasoned triathletes saw our sportswatch beat more traditional tri kit like bikes and training shoes to the acclaimed title.

The swim-proof Forerunner 310XT gives up to 20 hours of battery life and switches from wrist to bike in seconds with optional quick-release mounts. This all-in-one personal trainer accurately tracks time, distance, pace, elevation and heart rate for stats that count.

The awards were also a success for two Team Garmin-sponsored triathletes. U23 World Champion Hollie Avil was named Youth Triathlete of the Year for the second year running, while World Champion Alistair Brownlee successfully defended his title of Men’s Elite Triathlete of the Year.
