    Hey,

    So I managed to get the above watch for about €110 second hand on eBay. if any of ye have used one before would mind answering some questions

    1) I have a heart rate monitor strap that's not garmin. Will this work with it? it would have been a pretty cheap strap when I brought it ?

    2) I saw something about the ANT stick only working wirelessly on a windows only. Is this true? I ask as I have a mac.

    3) Can it be linked directly to you phone or does it have to be done via the computer and then view the data through the app?

    I've had one for a few years - brilliant piece of kit.

    You'll have to try the HR strap. My Polar didnt work, so had to buy a Garmin strap on wiggle

    Only use windows and works fine

    There is a ANT app - bit slow but does work

    1. If your current heart rate strap supports ANT+ then it should work

    2. ANT stick works on both Mac and Windows

    3. To upload data to garmin connect you will need to use ant stick and computer
