My Edge 510 only lasts 6-7 hours on the brightest display setting. On a sunny day it can be really hard to read, especially if I have small data fields on the screen or I am wearing sunglasses. I was disappointed to see a color screen on the 920xt.

Hopefully DCRainmaker does a thorough review of the screen in bright conditions.

Hey guys I'm the first to admit the general awesomeness of DC's site. I put a link on his site and some of the leaked 920 info. My bad. hands up guilty. etc. DCR was nice, I'm sure he's an all-round super-nice person and I'v certainly benefitted form some of his in-depth reviews as much as you.

I make pennies from our site. We love doing it. Maybe I do have an ego (rapidly deflating I hasten to add :-) ) It actually COSTS US money to do the proper reviews of real products that I get my hands on. We have to pay for the return postage (although not with Polar).

I have re-worded the 920XT stuff to make it abundantly clear that the info comes from a few collated sources and that I have not got my hands on a 920. I said words to that effect in the original post in any case - I'm sure someone will check that! And I hope it's true (pretty sure)

I have no NDA with any manufacturer

If I can dig out and collate leaked info...that's OK isn't it? I've certainly found the info personally interesting and I can't be alone in that interest, surely?

I'm not an evil person honest, I can name at least 3 people that think I'm quite nice (well maybe it's down to 2 now). Be nice. Live happy :-)

@IMBASEL - Garmin was one of the sources of the leaked info eg the PRICING!!....maybe they meant to do it? Maybe a Garmin employee or two made a mistake? What is written on a few forums I suspect will not affect Garmin's release plans one iota. It could all be a big hoax don't forget...not unknown in the digital world. One of the best sources of info on Garmin new products is the Garmin | Into Sports Blog...it often comes out first there!

I agree - I have had most Garmin watches and the 620 is the first that looks "normal". I actually like the look of the 920 in blue and black. Not sure as an everyday watch - but certainly an improvement from the 910. I also like the Fenix watches - a little chunky - but at least they look "normal".

Intel considers their largest competitor themselves and with this mindset move forward constantly trying to better themselves. As a leader they've found that if they only compare themselves to their "direct" competitors, it isn't enough thus they innovate on what they've done constantly trying to outdo themselves.

I view Garmin a bit differently although I now wonder how many generations they are working on. Garmin seems to be on more of a set production schedule (i.e., release a 310/90/920 every 3 years).

There's no way you're going to see a SIM card in a triathlon watch anytime soon, go look at how much space even a 3g chipset takes up, and you need a halfway decent antenna somewhere. You can't have a good screen, battery life, and a ton of connectivity right now. They're not holding back features because they feel like it, power and space are very real constraints on a watch.

Despite the AT&T partnership the unit will work overseas just fine, via service provider roaming partnerships. Such roaming costs the consumer no additional money, as it’s all handled behind the scenes by AT&T. For the first year the connected services will be free – though after that there will be some form of monthly charge via the telecom company. The exact pricing isn’t determined quite yet, but will fall in line with adding a second device to an AT&T plan.

Umm, already there

While true...

Doesn't the bia require a separate GPS pod?

and the Timex is a bit bulky w/ a poor battery for size ratio (by today's GPS watch standards... maybe not ~3 years ago's).

Still I'd agree that adding a 3g/4g connection to something like the 910 shouldn't be considered impossible if designed to use all of it's resources effectively (how much and how often it used the cell connection, for example).

Why does it have to be 3g/4g? The about of data needed for a watch is miniscule.

Because the target demographic for an internet-connected full color touchscreen watch largely consists of idiots who enjoy lighting money on fire.

No, again, these companies aren't out to get you. The tin foil hats around here are kind of funny.

1. Older technologies aren't necessarily as efficient. The way that data is sent over a 2g network isn't the same as newer tech, just slower.
2. Carriers are re-farming those frequencies for newer tech. AT&T 2g won't work by the end of 2016.

I really don't see why people want 2G/3G/4G connections in fitness devices, it's just an unnecessarily complication IMO.

The only real benefit I can see is for Live Tracking in cases where you wouldn't want a cell phone with you, but I dread to think how quickly that would eat through the battery.
