    My screen on my Garmin FR 620 is scrambled but still works. Thinking of upgrading now.

    Anyone thinking selling their Garmin? Or anyone knows good deals?

    Thanks

    If you wait for a month or so, the 245 and 645 will be out, so the prices for other models will drop

    Garmin Forerunner 610HRM is €108.00 on Sports Direct but as post above the other models will drop in price soon and Black Friday too their is usually deals on Garmin Watches.

    Sweet, was about to pull the trigger for the 35 on the UK site. From French Amazon it comes to €110 including postage. :)

    Not too long to wait I'd suspect!

    5 hour GPS battery life seems poor, particularly when it is likely to be less

    That's five hours while using GPS and streaming music via BLE to wireless headphones. I'd assume that if you're not streaming, the battery for GPS activity would last significantly longer (perhaps 10 hours?). Battery lasts for 7 days of smart watch use (no GPS/music streaming).

    Also its not a ultra running watch, maybe should look at the fenix etc for that

    Loving the Fenix 5!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,864 ✭✭✭✭average_runner


    Got fell up waiting for the 645 so just bought the 935 with a 10% discount on clever training !!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,053 ✭✭✭opus


    Yet another teaser pic of the 645, imagine it will appear at CES this week sometime though.

    announced at ces and review/first looks are out. like the smaller size but not pushed on music myself, and it drops a couple of features from 935 and fenix 5 and isn't that much cheaper.

    would work for me and save me wearing fenix 3 for pool swims though.

    If they could provide on board storage for Spotify or podcasts then it would be pretty good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,864 ✭✭✭✭average_runner


    I am delighted I bought the 935, not having to charge it for at least 15 days is great!
