    It’s coming out in October, little disappointing there’s no built in GPS but battery life is amazing. What’s everyone’s impression of it compared to whatever else is on offer

    I think the charge 2 works well without GPS. It uses the one in your phone so gives a real battery life of 5 days

    Can three record laps in the pool , it’s not clear. Water proofing is a must the biggest let down of the 2

    NFC is wellcome.

    Where’s the best place to get a replacement strap?

    I just ordered two off Amazon for a little cheaper than the above link - got one regular rubber one for the gym, a mesh metal one for work & a charger for €30 but that's included improved delivery.

    Will update on quality

    Anyone know if this can be used in the swimming pool?

    I have one and all I can see is that it is water resistant, want to see if anyone has worn it in the pool and had any issue before I do it and possible ruin the unit.

    Would be a be stupid if it didn't work in the pool considering it has swimming as one of the exercises on the unit.

    Thanks
