Garmin 405 versus 405CX versus 310XT

[elizabeth]

Anyone used or know anyone who has tried all three of these watches?

I have been using the 405 and like it very much, however it died on me after about a year of use (locks up, fades to black, reset does not fix) and I am debating whether I want to replace it with the same watch or go for the 405CX or 310XT instead.

Any input/thoughts appreciated!

Thanks!

with all these gear people on this forum no one has any advice on this?

has anyone used the 310 XT after having owned a previous version? I am seriously contemplating the 310 despite it being larger in favor of the longer battery life. but i want to make sure it loads a little faster than the 305.

any input much appreciated!

Elizabeth, I've not used any of them but am currently pretty close to pulling the trigger on the 310XT myself. I've read reviews and checked CNET, pretty good overall. That's all I've got!
