We understand that you need absolutely precise data about your run, swim, biking or other activities to improve performance and excel in your respective spheres of life. That’s why we have designed your new training partner with unmatched perfection. It makes us proud to present Forerunner 910XT as the only GPS enabled sport watch that can not only track covered distance, total time, current pace, elevation, and heart rate during your running or cycling but also record and display your swim matrices. Forerunner 910XT is your all-in-one training companion with sleek design, clear display and comfortable wristband.

Dive In

Forerunner 910XT has been specifically designed to provide swimming dynamics in open water and pool. This watch is water resistant up to fifty meters (164 ft). Forerunner 910XT is capable of identifying stroke, counting strokes and measuring pool length and swim distance. It can even measure your swimming efficiency by computing your swolf score. These features, supporting extensive swim metrics raise it to the status of our first truly multisport watch. Forerunner 910XT also features a very sturdy design with operational flexibility so that it can be operated easily during the sporting activities in water like paddle boarding.

Forerunner 910XT also tracks your path while you are running on land or swimming in water. This allows you to create your route map at Garmin Connect™ and analyze your swimming techniques. Obviously, when you can analyze your swimming matrices, you can take corrective measures to improve your swimming efficiency.

We understand the importance of sustaining your momentum during the sporting events and incorporated auto multisport feature in our Forerunner 910XT. This feature allows seamless transition from one mode to another at the press of a button. With 910XT on your side, you will never lose your precious seconds in shifting between sport modes. The optional quick release mount provides the easiest and hassle-free moving of your 910XT from wrist to bike.

Try It Dry

The features of Forerunner 910XT are also very exciting for sporting activities on land. In fact, Forerunner 910XT is equipped with many technologies of our sport watches and advanced cycling computers that have earned our reputation in precisely capturing distance, time and current pace. Forerunner 910XT is our first multisport GPS training watch to include the features of a barometric altimeter to precisely measure altitude and related data like ascent, descent and grade. Your 910XT allows you to fully customize it as per your training needs. In fact, you can configure multiple training pages for each sporting event. The vibration alert features allow you to set alerts for various targets, including the motivational nudges, reminders to take nutrition and precise time to hit a split. The sophisticated technologies supporting such advanced features with a battery life of 20 hours make 910XT to be the ultimate choice of hardcore professionals and die hard triathletes.

Take It to the Next Level

Garmin Forerunner 910XT is fully compatible with ANT+™ sensors for seamlessly pairing with the optional instruments like speed/cadence sensor and heart-rate monitor to support advanced training. In fact, our premium heart-rate monitor is bundled with some models of Forerunner 910XT. If you have purchased a bare model of 910XT, you can pair it with your existing ANT+ compatible heart-rate monitor or purchase our heart-rate monitor. Forerunner 910XT also supports health monitoring. In combination with Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale, your forerunner 910XT can provide measurements for weight, body fat, body water and six other useful health measurements.
