I’ve been having a lot of problems with my Garmin Forerunner 3. XT. Generally, it is still useful for tracking my workouts and following courses, but it has been very frustrating to use. Here are some of the things it does wrong: The unit turns on by itself while connected to the computer. Sometimes while it is charging, I’ll hear a loud buzzing near the computer and check the unit. It’ll be on and trying to get a GPS signal. Even when the computer is off, and the unit is still connected via USB, the 3. XT will turn itself on. By the time I use the 3. XT, the battery is dead. This has happened many times to me. Getting a GPS signal takes a long time. It usually takes the unit about 3. This seems really slow. But after that, sometimes it will take perhaps 2 minutes just to find a GPS signal. I can’t turn the unit on ahead of time to get around this as there generally is not GPS reception indoors. Sometimes, the unit takes about 1. The 3. 10. XT gets stuck on its boot screen where it displays the Garmin logo. This happens about 5- 1. I try to wait for a few minutes in hopes that the unit will boot but usually start my run with the unit still stuck on its boot screen. After an additional 5 to 1. Update: This happened again, two times in a row. I estimate that it took about 1. Transferring data rarely works. Even when there is definitely new data available, the Garmin ANT Agent screen will display: USB ANT(tm) stick: Active. Waiting for new data…Unless I un- pair and re- pair my device, data won’t be transferred from the 3. XT to my computer. Even when I do this, sometimes I can’t transfer data. The .

XT to fix the problem. I was able to transfer data well for about a month. Then, the same problem started happening again – the 3. XT would transfer data to my computer but I could not get the data into Garmin Training Center. I tried re- pairing multiple times but had no success.

A list of Garmin Forerunner 310XT Problems, how to fix some of them, and why I can’t let myself buy another Garmin device. I think I’ve made some progress in figuring out why this doesn’t work. It seems that one of the XML files, Garmin. Device. XML is not correct. I tried copying another version that exists on my PC over, and the data transfer started to work as soon as I restarted ANT Agent. I’ll update this as I make more progress. This is how you reset the 3. XT (WATCH OUT! ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED): 1) Turn 3. XT off. 2) Press and hold Enter and Mode buttons (keep holding until step 6)3) Press and release Power button. Press and release Lap/Reset (watch will turn off)5) Wait 3 seconds. Release Enter and Mode. Bizarre Time/Date problems. While I was having trouble transferring data, I decided to take a look at my Activities History on the watch. According to my watch, all of my runs in the last 3 weeks happened “Yesterday”, each 2 minutes apart. I turned the watch off, and turned it back on. The date of the Activities changed to March 3. I suspected that the date was wrong because the GPS gets its time/date information from the GPS satellites, but the unit showed good satellite signal with 2. Also, the time the GPS unit displayed was correct. Screen fogs up. This isn’t as big of a problem, but apparently humid air can enter the unit and condense on the inside of the screen. This usually goes away after a few minutes. Screen goes blank while charging. I don’t remember if this happened before, but usually the screen displays a charging status indicator (6. I came back to check on the 3. XT’s charging status and the screen was completely blank. I have no idea if it is actually charging or not, or if the unit has crashed. To turn it on again, I had to do some combination of removing it from the charger, hitting the power button, then placing it back in the charger. Doesn’t save activities. I ran a half marathon, and when I tried to transfer the data to my PC, I ran into all of the problems I’ve mentioned. Somehow all of the connecting and disconnecting from the charger caused the 3. XT to 1) delete my half marathon from record 2) reassign the date of all of my other activities to today. This is intensely frustrating, as I wanted to see my splits and my heart rate from the race. I noticed that in addition, my setup for the screens (to display heart rate, pace, total time, etc) had been reset to the default. Argh. I can’t send courses to the device, and Garmin Express doesn’t even work. I can’t connect to my 3. XT at all via Training Center, so I decided to bite the bullet and use Garmin Connect. I downloaded Garmin Express, and spent 4. XT. It sometimes detects the 3. XT, it sometimes doesn’t. When it does, it tries to pair. I enabled pairing on my 3. XT displays “Transferring Data” and then Garmin Express tells me that pairing was unsuccessful. I tried the Garmin Communicator Plugin, and it can’t find my device. Garmin make to communicate with this device that still don’t work at all?!)Would I buy one again? Definitely not. It has a lot of potential, and I like the idea of being able to track my activities and heart rate, but there are too many problems and glitches and headaches associated with using the 3. XT. It’s buggy and has a lot of quirks that make it feel like an unfinished beta product. The funny thing about the bugginess of the 3. XT is that it’s still for sale on Garmin’s website as of March 2. They haven’t updated its firmware since July, 2. I find it kind of shocking that they haven’t put effort into fixing the issues I’ve experienced, and I don’t have a lot of confidence that Garmin will ever fix them, since it’s been nearly 2 years since they’ve touched the firmware of the product. This makes me a little uncomfortable when considering purchasing their other products as well. Does anyone else have any of these problems? Please leave a comment with your experiences. I haven’t found anything similar online.
