When you add USB power to the FR920XT mid-activity, it’ll instantly end the activity and begin full charging. Thus, it’s somewhat ironic that given this high level of snap security that it doesn’t permit you to charge the device in the middle of an activity (such as an ultra run or super-long ride). It’s incredibly secure and requires pressing of a side button to remove.
Starting with the charging cable, it allows you to plug into any USB port on the planet to charge the FR920XT. To start, here’s the box of the HRM-RUN bundle:Īfter cracking it open you’ve got these five basic piles: The USB charging clip, the watch itself, the HRM-RUN strap, some paper stuffs, and the HRM-RUN transmitter model that snaps into the strap: And then both of those are offered in either Blue/Black, and Red/White. You can purchase the unit with the HRM-RUN heart rate strap, or without it. The FR920XT comes in two box flavors and two unit colors. So – with that intro, let’s get into things.

Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background, and thus I try and be as complete as I can. Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular athlete out there. Like always, I’ll be shipping that back to them in Kansas in the next little bit and going out and getting my own via regular retail channels.
To be clear, I’ve been using a FR920XT provided by Garmin to test with (final production unit). But, these are really just small tidbits of what is without question the most full featured multisport watch on the market (if not most full featured watch of any type out there today). For example, it adds in Live Tracking that started on the Edge series, more swim functionality found in the Garmin Swim and Fenix2, Running Dynamics that started in the FR620, and finally activity and sleep tracking from the Vivo lineup of activity monitors. The FR920XT brings together in one unit a slew of new features found on many recent Garmin devices across the health and fitness landscape.
In doing so I’ve been able to beat the crap out of it and see where it shines…and where it might need some more polish. At the time I wrote a relatively long first look at the watch, but now I’ve had a solid month under my belt using the final watch and firmware. Last month just ahead of the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, Garmin announced their latest triathlon watch – the FR920XT.
