Waterproof to a depth of 50 metres, the Forerunner 310XT is angled at swimming fans and triathletes and can be moved "easily" from optional bike mount to wrist.
Clever techery includes a "Virtual Partner" training buddy and syncing with Garmin's other fitness peripherals and your computer via ANT+ tech.
With 20 hours battery life, the Forerunner 310XT will be available for £299.99 or £329.99 with heart rate monitor.
The Forerunner 405CX claims to add increased accuracy in heart rate-based calorie computation and improved comfort.

In addition to monitoring heart rate and counting calories the 405CX tracks speed, distance, pace and location with a touch bezel on the face of the watch.
