    I am looking to buy a Garmin to help me with my runs. Have only 120 Euro to spend though. Can anyone recommend one?

    Thanks in advance.

    The Forerunner 10 is the only GPS-based Garmin in your price range. If you'd consider buying second hand though, there's a significantly wider selection available. You didn't mention what your intended use is, but a Forerunner 310xt is a decent all-rounder, and you may be able to find a second-hand model in your price range.

    Amazon have the 110 for 90 sterling. I'd say that's nearly as good a price as you'll get...

    Thanks for the advice. Got a Forerunner 310xt on Ebay (new) in my price range.

    If it sounds to good to be true, it is. Got the Garmin in my price range however it was from the US and had to pay fee when the An Post delivered it. Lesson learned.

    Really want to get one now! Wondering if a Garmin 110 is a very old model? Think it would be ok though as I am only starting out really. The new Garmin 15 looks good too, just hard to find and that bit more expensive

    Strange request and probably not the right thread but I was wondering does any1 in the Kill area of naas have a garmin 610 charger that I could charge my watch off this evening as I need it for the weekend but left my own charger at home which is two hours away. I could leave the watch there for a couple of hours or borrow it for a short period.

    Thanks in advance
