Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Forerunner Quick Release Kit
Customer Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought the quick release was a great idea-- easy to move my GPS from bike to wrist. But I lost my GPS receiver the second time I used the wrist strap. It just fell off from the strap, and I didn't realize it. As soon as I did, I went back to find it, but it was gone. Garmin wasn't sympathetic, not that I expected much from them, and I had to buy my forerunner again. $300 down the drain, all because a faulty quick release design.Customer Review: Great Idea, Too Complicated
Summary: 2 Stars
The concept is that you take the watch off and slap it on your bike. However, getting it on the bike is too time-consuming to be useful to me. You have to remove both straps with a tool to be able to attach it to the clip on your handlebars. When you're ready to run again, you have to reattach the watch straps again. It took me about a minute to do this each time. I had assumed I could just attach the watch without removing the straps.Customer Review: works great
Summary: 4 Stars
This thing works exactly how you'd think it should work. There's a bracket that attaches to your handlebars and a new wriststra with the same bracket. The Forerunner snaps in and out of each bracket in about 1 second and both seem quite secure.
The only downside is that you go from a nice rubber wriststrap to a cheaper nylon one, but that's a small price in my book, especially if you spend more time on the bike than off.
Customer Review: Quick Release Kit is a good investment
Summary: 4 Stars
The extra benefit of the Velcro wrist strap in this kit is that it keeps the sweat away from the contacts on the back of the Garmin Forerunner.
Also, switching back and forth between the bike mount and the wrist band mount is fairly easy. HOWEVER! you need to pull back the thumb / finger tab fairly hard in order not to break the Forerunner holding rods. (They do include a couple extra holding rods with this kit)
Customer Review: DECEIVING - DOES NOT WORK WITH 310XT
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a quick release kit for my Forerunner 310xt... Amazon recommended this one when I looked up the watch. Not sure why as it does not fit. So a wasted week and costs to have had it shipped to me. If you have the version it works for, looks great :) I found the one for the 310xt and actually I think looks less "quick" (similar annoying locking wristband instead of the easy velcro that this version has)
