My Precioussss!

[PandaCory]

I finally succumbed and bought a Garmin! I've seen so much love for them here that I thought I'd give it a go. Wish me luck!

Good luck! I'm feeling a twinge of strap envy...

When I saw the red one I was lost 😄

The straps are usually easily changed. There are lots of different colours and designs on Amazon (of varying quality).

Oooh very nice 😁👍

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Oooo nice! Enjoy your new toy, they’re great! 🥰

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Lovely! Now Mooooove! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Which one is it?

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Forerunner 45. Hopefully it'll inspire me...

[59er Graduate10]

Play time! 👏👏

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to 59er]

Yaas! I'm looking forward to getting to grips with it 😁

[CBDB Graduate10]

Hope you felt the positive force of the mythic power of Lord of the Garmin ... 😂😂😂

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

Not yet - I shall make the appropriate sacrifices tomorrow on my first run 🙏🛐😄😄

[sofaspud]

Oooh - what a beauty! What model is that? I too am having strap envy ...

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to sofaspud]

Its the Forerunner 45 - big/standard size. Couldn't resist the red...

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Good luck PandaCory, looks a cool piece of kit 👍🏃‍♀️

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thanks!

Life will never be the same..... nice choice and colourful strap 😀

I also succumbed last week! I’d used a Fitbit before, but had begun to feel I needed more of a proper running watch. Also my wife, a big Garmin fan, had been praising it to the high heavens. A few days in and I’m hooked. I went for the Forerunner 45 Plus, which has a grey strap. Very nice, but red looks great! Enjoy and have fun!

[PandaCory Graduate10 in reply to Kipperrun]

Thanks! I'm still trying to get to grips with it. Apparently on my first run last night I did 0.02 miles in 25 minutes. I know I'm slow, but that's pretty extreme 😆😆. Back to the manual I think.

Oh I love my Forerunner 45s! Be prepared to be ever so slightly obsessed by it...... 😆⏱😍
