edge Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 The other half is a fitness freak and is now getting into running a fair bit. She talked about someone who had a fancy watch which done almost everything apart from make the tea. I wasn't really listening as to what it done so i thought i'd ask if anyone could suggest any. I got her a baby g watch last year but that's pretty much a normal watch. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Garmin Forerunner? They look very tech and looks to do alot. Some have gps, do they have some sort of route playback or nav? Would not know what was a better model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Alot of my friends have Polar watches, can use heart rate monitors etc, those or Suunito, or something similar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 I didn't realise suunto did them type of watches. I have been looking at suunto dive computers. Will check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Mine is the 305 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-Forerunner-305-Wrist-Worn-Personal/dp/B000FMQ296/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292109667&sr=1-1 I don't recall whether it does give satnav directions, if it does it doesn't have detailed maps. But it definitely tracks your position, and can convert that into calories burnt etc. It should do much more than it does (sits on my desk more than it should ) It's a very bulky watch so not something you could wear casually.

Mike Thanks. It's either that or this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-Forerunner-405CX-Sports-Watch/dp/B0025UHKNS/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292109987&sr=1-2 Only thinking what you just mentioned as it does look big but her baby g watch is quite bulky.
