i need a new watch

[ascayman]

a watch completely different from the rest of my collection and one i have no idea whether it exists or not.

im training for a triathlon and it needs to be able to measure how far im swimming, cycling and running if it could read my heart rate at the time that would also help.

is this even possible?? does such a thing exist?? any recommendations??

Garmin Forerunner 310XT.

However, recording heart-rate while swimming can be a bit hit and miss. The frequencies the sensor and receiver work on don't pass well through water, and that's assuming that the sensor is reading properly in the first place. The 310XT will work fine for distance/location in open water though.

Casio does a tri-sport range specifically for triathlons. Not sure about the heart thing, though.
