Smart Watch – help please

Bluebirds

Hi hip runners,

I am after a smart watch (or something similar) that will accurately record distances run.

The one I purchased is inaccurate, so no good.

I live in Wales, so ideally I would like to purchase something from the UK.

I find a mobile phone a bit cumbersome and something on my wrist would suit.

Ideally something basic that is reasonably priced – I don’t want to be paying hundreds of pounds.

If anyone can provide a name/model (or link) of anything tried and trusted (or knows someone they can ask) I would be grateful.

Thanks

Rob

      Garmin Forerunner 55 sounds ideal, about £150, or its predecessor 45 for around £100. Much better specs on the new version. Not sure how any GPS watch can be that inaccurate – what did you buy? All of my Garmins have been accurate enough for running.

      Thanks Pete – I am pleased you have endorsed the Garmin Forerunner as I have just ordered the “30”.
      The previous one I got was “Sports Watch Activity Tracker” – it was cheap and useless.
      Fingers crossed the new one will do the trick.
      Cheers

      I too use a Garmin Forerunner 935. As a multi-sport athlete it has pretty much everything I need.
