Which watch..

[read0001]

Morning all,

I’ve had to retire my current watch due to failing during 3 of the last 4 runs so am looking for a replacement now. I’ve got my eye on either the Forerunner 235 or Polar M430....anyone have any experience good or bad of either of these? I was kind of set on the 235 initially but spotted the M430 and thought it also seemed pretty good...

I have the Garmin 235. Absolutely love it - light as a feather, easy to use, battery lasts ages and the integration with Garmin Connect where all your stats are kept is great. It also has a feature called 'live tracking' so Mrs t_m can see where I am whilst I'm running (proves I didn’t just go to the pub instead of running).

No experience of the other one that you mention unfortunately.

Seconding the Garmin. The Polar also gets good reviews. I like the Garmin Connect app and how smoothly everything seems to work most of the time.

Thanks for the replies, i like the bit about being able to prove I’m not just going to the pub!!
