New Garmin?

I’m in the market for a new one and got about £150 vouchers. I have had my Forerunner years but jts too big and unwieldy to wear much - only if running. I want to track time and speed and download data - what should I buy?

I'm very happy with my forerunner 35. Does exactly what you say - time and speed, has GPS. But is small enough so I can wear it all the time. Also syncs to phone so you can see all your calls and messages.

I’ll take a look thank you

I’ve just upgraded to a Vivoactive 3. Looks more like a regular watch and not as chunky as some of the forerunners. Impressed so far. Touchscreen is good. Easy to set up. They’re going for £174 on Amazon at the moment.

I have a forerunner 30. Wear it daily and does the job with running, no problem. Charge lasts about 3 days. On offer too at the moment in argos as I bought a relative one!

I have a forerunner 35. It is a bit chunky, but I wear it all the time regardless and now feel a bit lost without it.

I've got the vivoactive 3. Personally I don't like the look of it. Too big and heavy looking for me. I bought it because as well as running I row and Garmin are one of the few to include a stroke meter in their watch. For running it does everything thing I need. So a thumbs up from me Smile
