 Forerunner Quick Release Kit July 16, 2010

I purchased this kit to allow me to transfer my garmin from run to bike during Triathlon training and race. It works great much easier that the runner band that comes on the watch by default. Easy to snap in and out. I will say be careful with it, I had my watch on my camelpack strap and it got caught when removing the camelpack and I broke one of the pins about an hour before my first Tri, but it did come with spare pins, so was able to correct the issue and worked great for the race.
 Not for Extreme Sports July 15, 2010

I love my Garmin 305. Works great. I bought this kit b/c I run and mountain bike a lot and this kit makes transitions easy between wrist and bike.
Worked so good that I decided to strap it on to my wrist while I was at the motocross track. Not a good idea. One lap and it had popped out of the quick release wrist strap. Same thing with bike mount kit.
So, the lesson is it works great if you aren't going to be in a situation where it is really going to get thrown around a lot. I would not trust this kit for my mountain bike in extreme situations where it is going to get rough (i.e. think Porcupine Rim Trail out at Moab). Other than that it works great!

Good product, just have to be careful if you are riding on a somewhat of a bumpy road, the quick release actually came loose and fell off my bike. I had to go back to get it, good thing I heard it fall.
DECEIVING - DOES NOT WORK WITH 310XT June 12, 2010

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)
 Works OK, but not on rough roads May 23, 2010

I got the quick release kit several months ago, and have been using it with no problems until today. I found out that even if the GPS is securely attached to the mounting bracket, it can come loose on rough roads. I hit a bump on my ride today, and my $200 GPS went sailing. I checked before I left to ensure that the unit was securely fastened in the bracket, and it was. Luckily I found my GPS and it survived, but others may not be so lucky. That's a lot of money to trust to a bracket that's not 100% secure. Keep on the bike paths or smooth roads, and you may be alright, but I no longer trust my kit and have removed it from my bike.
