recommend a watch

akelly02

Hi guys

im looking for a simple smart watch , with GPS .

Basically at the moment im using samsung health app on my phone.

it was grand at the start, but now that my times are going down, i think i need something better.

the GPS on the phone is all over the place. i am doing 5ks at the moment, up at the GAA pitch.

i am finishing up in various spots on the pitch , sometimes over 100-150 metres apart .

i am looking for a watch that can track my progress during my run( samsung health is great for this), and have a proper GPS.


the main thing im worried about is having 1k splits, and average pace that sort of stuff on the watch .

can anyone reccomend a watch for above?

apologies for the long post .

Don't go fitbit anyway. It is a total PITA to run with.

Garmin, fantastic watch with a few price ranges and styles. Very good quality, hardy watch.

Polar and Suunto have never had but have heard good things.

This guy is great for reviewing products:

I had a lot of these watches, mostly fitness trackers. They are comfortable, quite cheap, and they have a lot of functions.  The simplest ones work for me, you can look at the more expensive ones with more features. Xiaomi will suit you.

a mate in work reccomended the garmin forerunner 35. around €150

seems resonable enough to me
