Advice on running watch

[Myrar]

Hi I am looking at getting a new activity tracker and looked at the Garmin 35 does anyone have one ? Is is worth buying ?..I do have a cheap tracker at the moment but it's so inaccurate ..

Have you checked on Ebay? Maybe get a secondhand one?

Hi just wrote reply for u & it’s disappeared! Gggrrrrrr . Anyways to sum up I have one & love it great for recording the basics time distance & pace. Really easy to work city technophobe like me.

Accuracy is spot on with Strava- I was using runkeeper previously thinking I was doin great then realised I was about 2K out’ 😝🤪🤪ignorance was bliss as they say......

Hi dbbd ..It's runkeeper I use at the moment ..Oh dear I'm well out then ...Might try strava until I get my watch😊😊

Definitely get one if you can find it at the right price. I bought myself one (Garmin 235) as a graduation present. It's way more accurate than my phone and gives so much more info. I think the 35 is quite a new model so probably a good choice. Be warned, you can get obsessive about the stats it gives you!
