The Garmin 310XT GPS watch is on sale for Father's Day at the Heart Rate Watch Company at the best price ever.

"For several years the Forerunner 310XT has been a bellwether watch for triathlon, ultra-runners, cyclists and endurance athletes," says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, "At $184 without heart rate strap, this is nearly half price when compared to the watches original retail and the best price on the web."

"Given that the Garmin Forerunner 910XT is $449 with heart rate this watch is a steal because it only lacks a barometric altimeter and lap, stroke features in water", says Squire.

GARMIN 310XT FEATURES

The Garmin Forerunner 310XT is waterproof, tracks open water swim distance with shallow water GPS, delivers all cycling metrics including power from ANT+ power meters and provides all run metrics.

The 310XT also connects to bike cadence sensors and foot pods to allow for cadence both running and cycling. The watch also maintains a 16 hour battery life at one second recording intervals so it provides plenty of battery life for an Ironman or 100 miler.

"I believe the 310XT is the single best GPS watch value on the market today for under $200 considering its features set," says Squire. He adds, "It works better than most bike computers and is definitely one of the best triathlon watches for value on the market today."

DAD WILL LOVE IT

"The quality of activity maps in the free Garmin Connect software is outstanding," says Squire. He adds, "You can see very precise heart rate, pace and distance data for every inch of the course."

"Father's Day is Sunday, June 16th so you'll have to hurry to take advantage of this great deal as orders need to be placed by June 12th to be delivered on time", says Squire. He adds, "We can even gift wrap it for you for $1 to save you the time".

The Suunto Ambit 2 Sapphire GPS watch has been the hardest sports fitness watch to obtain for 2013 but the Heart Rate Watch Company still has a few available for July 1 delivery according to company spokesperson Rusty Squire.

"The Ambit 2 Sapphire took the market by storm and we were trying to understand why, so we researched Sapphire crystals," says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, "They are virtually indestructible and the only harder substances in the world are diamonds or silicate carbide."

SOLVING THE GPS WATCH DURABILITY DILEMMA

"Most fitness GPS watches have plastic, or in some cases, mineral crystals but the problem is they scratch," says Squire. He adds, "The Suunto Ambit 2 Sapphire is built bomb proof, so other than occasional watch band, or lithium-ion battery, replacement it is the type of watch that should last a decade."

NAVIGATION, WEATHER, and FULL SPORTS FUNCTIONALITY

The Suunto Ambit 2 Sapphire offers much more than just durability delivering track back, on-screen navigation, a barometric altimeter, swimming features and a memory that can run 5 apps concurrently according to Squire. "The key with this watch is that it offers the best sports features, best navigation features, weather and more, all in the world's toughest package," says Squire.

DRESS WATCH GOOD LOOKS WITH FULL GPS FUNCTION

The issue with most GPS sport watches is that they don't look like watches you would use for anything besides a workout. "Not so with the [http://suuntoambit2sapphire.com Suunto Ambit 2 Sapphire]," says Squire. He adds, "This is the single nicest looking [http://www.heartratewatchcompany.com GPS sports watch] we have ever seen because it can pull off a tuxedo just as easily as it could pull off Mount Everest."

Of course the [http://suuntoambit2.com Suunto Ambit 2] is virtually the same watch minus the Sapphire crystal and fancier bezel for $100 less according to Squire.

The number of homes sold for more than �2m - now subject to a higher stamp duty rate - fell at the end of last year, new figures show.

There were 103 �2m-plus homes sold in December in England and Wales - an 18% drop from the same month a year earlier, the Land Registry said.

Of these, 80 were sold in London, where prices have been rising the fastest.

The sales came before Chancellor George Osborne introduced a new 7% stamp duty rate in Wednesday's Budget.

There are various rates of stamp duty land tax - paid by the buyer of a property - already in place, depending on the cost of the home.

The chancellor said that those who bought the most expensive homes should contribute more. This will mean the buyer of a home at a cost of more than �2m must pay at least �140,000 in stamp duty.

The Treasury expects the measure to raise �150m in the next financial year, rising to �300m by 2016-17.
First-time buyers

The Land Registry provides the latest accurate data on the sales of homes at certain price bands.

Current stamp duty thresholds

* 1%: Properties of �125,000 to �250,000, but first-time buyers are exempt until 24 March
* 3%: �250,000 to �500,000
* 4%: More than �500,000
* 5%: More than �1m, residential property only
* 7%: More than �2m, residential property only

In December, the biggest proportion of homes were sold for between �100,000 and �150,000, with a total of 14,385 sold.

Any first-time buyers who bought homes at this price would have been exempt from stamp duty at the time.

However, from Saturday, all buyers of homes sold for more than �125,000 will have to pay stamp duty because this exemption is coming to an end after two years. Mr Osborne said it had been "ineffective" in increasing first-time buyer numbers.

In the Budget, the chancellor also announced that the level of stamp duty on residential properties over �2m which were bought via a company would increase to 15% with immediate effect.

In addition, overseas companies that already own UK residential property worth more than �2m will be subject to capital gains tax from April 2013.

Overall, the Land Registry said house prices in England and Wales rose by 0.1% in February compared with the previous month.

However, prices were down 0.6% compared with February 2010. The average home cost �161,588.

Italy has moved to centre stage in the eurozone debt crisis.

While Greece generated a lot of noise, it is now seen as a sideshow.

Greece's debt problems are already widely known and the immediate consequences of a Greek default largely anticipated.

Moreover, the size of the Greek economy is small enough that the direct damage, if Greece stopped paying its debts, should be quite manageable for the eurozone.

Instead, the big fear is "contagion" - that a Greek default could trigger a financial catastrophe for other, much bigger economies - in particular Italy and Spain.

And it seems it is Italy that is now seen as the lead candidate for that contagion. But why is this?
Prudent Italy?

According to Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, "Italy has great economic strength, but Italy does also have a very high level of debt and that has to be reduced in a credible way in the years ahead."

As with Greece, she and other eurozone leaders believe the solution is more government austerity - spending cuts and tax rises - by Rome.

However, some economists might disagree with her assessment.

The Italian government's debt, at 118% of GDP (annual economic output) is certainly high, even by European standards.

But dig a little deeper, and the picture changes.

Unlike their counterparts in Spain or the Irish Republic, ordinary Italians have not run up huge mortgages, and generally have very little debt.

That means that according to the Bank of International Settlements Italy as a country - not just a government - is not actually terribly indebted compared with other big economies such as France, Canada or the UK.
