Recommend me a running watch

daheff

Ok,

I need to get a new running watch. The last few I've had (Garmin FR60, Timex Ironman) with resin all in one straps broke really easily :mad:

Here are the conditions

• Must not be all in one strap/face (ie if strap breaks i can put on a replacement easily)
• must be less than 150Eur
• Can store multiple lap times

thanks

One of the casio protreks maybe?

.....bear with me - i know you said you didn't want one with all-in-one strap, but i've had a Garmin 110 for ages, and i know other people with them - never heard of any issues with the straps failing

it's an option...

Can't think of a good GPS watch that has a seperate strap, but there may be one.

Garmin are considered the best in terms of GPS, and Polar are considered the best in terms of Hear rate - neither of these have seperate strap options as far as i know.

The last watch I had was a Garmin Fr60...strap broke in less than 7 months...so i'm not going down that route again. Thanks for the suggestion though.


anybody have any experience with Suunto watches? I'm looking at this
