I've had two, second wasn't as accurate as the first but good battery and perfect for casual exercise person like myself. App is great. Certainly worth it at that price so getting one for a 13 year old. Thanks for the tip off!

I bought this for €100 from Argos a few weeks ago. Raging! lol

Brilliant price, just ordered one for my teenage son.

Would this be a decent basic running watch? Have a Forerunner 10 but it’s a bit outdated and poor GPS battery life.

thanks OP, great buy

something like the more modern huawei band 4 pro would have better sleep-tracking and the addition of blood-oxygen measurement and similar features otherwise (gps etc) for this price range

Having used huawei band pro 4...this has better accurate heart rate, stress monitoring, more workout features To name few...battery is better too.

aw

Have purchased one.

Note that there are some other items on offer, have bought a different reduced model too.

Sorry for stupid question but by "this" Did you mean the Garmin. Have been looking at something like this few months back but didn't realise you could get these with GPS built in so cheap. Is this the best sub €100 device out there?

I think that they meant the garmin

but the huawei band 4 pro is only recently available over in Europe - I wonder if it was an older model.

It is likely a misprice - UK site lists as 99 pounds reduced. Ours lists it as 113 reduced to 58...

I meant garmin...huawei bands are cheap for a reason coz of them being banned at many places...garmin beats it down easily at this price..

Ya, would be a good upgrade on forerunner 10, I've a FR 35 and the wife has the vivosport and there is a few extras like stress and REM monitoring in the vivosport.

:-) Was trying to make sure that people really did see "hey,
it really is a bargain, grab it before they notice" got through to some. Those cheap bands can't compare to Garmin..

I've had one almost two years now. I got it specifically because it didn't look like a watch as I wanted to wear watches on the other wrist and for the GPS. It's light, decent battery and very small. I haven't had any issues with accuracy or heart rate. I haven't compared it to my Garmin HRM but haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.

It's handy to have the heart rate warning and walk/run intervals and they work well considering there's no speaker. The lack of buttons isn't an issue as the screen is easy enough to use. Another reason I went with this one is the always on screen, when this came out it was one of the only ones I believe. Handy to see your heart rate, pace etc without having to flick the screen on while running. Loads of ways to customise what's on each screen in typical Garmin fashion.

The app is great, I've been using it for years with cycling. Handy to track distance on shoes and also sync calories with MyFitnessPal and Strava.

Definitely a good price if anyone is interested in getting a fitness tracker.

Yeah i have used it..who is claiming i have not ? Prices have plummeted due to this controversy..hope u did not pay full price for your huawei products ? Infact huawei shipped free bands with phones to boost sales !!

Still waiting u to confirm where i contradicted ? ������

I have a huawei band but not a phone.

they make great phones though (class-leading cameras) and it's easy to get the google apps installed that it comes without.

Samsung give away 200 euro wireless earbuds with their phones to boost sales, that doesn't mean that they make crap phones

This here is the reason i am discouraged to post deals on this site...No wonder no one posts good deals here..experts take over bargain threads..lmao

just 'cos someone suggests an alternative that is more modern and with additional features you don't have to get defensive about your bargain alert

then you proceeded to post incorrect information

Thanks can u clean up the thread pls...

Cheers OP, Ordered one too! NwF

Gerlad

This has been on and off offer for a while. Be very careful with your address and eircode. I ordered mine at end of April and only received it a week ago. That was after hounding Garmin on email, phone and twitter to find out where it was. I then had to follow up directly with DPD for 2 weeks to see where it was in Ireland. In saying that I have had it for a week and it works really well for such a low entry point.

I did two orders. The latest order arrived this morning.

JBan1984

I ordered one last weekend and it hadn't been dispatched so I gave them a call. They are out of stock with their next delivery of stock due around 10 July, they let me cancel my order over the phone if anyone doesn't want to wait another couple of weeks

Was it small/medium or the large you ordered?
it says 5-8 weeks waiting time for the large so 10 july doesn't seem so bad!

I ordered the small/medium, didn't realise the wait time for them was that bad, at least you can cancel the order if you don't wait to wait

Mine is shipped for three days but tracking does not pick it up....so hopefully it will arrive soon.

I ordered large grey on 26th and still awaiting shipping.
Someone mentioned some watches due back in stock today so was holding off contacting them until I see what happens today.

Roberto_gas
