Does anybody use a fitness watch? I'm considering treating myself to a Garmin Forerunner 235 as a reward for graduating (well, asking somebody else to treat me for xmas :) ). Any recommendations?

I have a Fitbit Blaze which I love. It tracks my runs on the map, gives me my times and tells me how many calories I have used. Plus a load of other things too.

Not yet, but I happen to know Santa Husband got me one for Christmas which I hid from myself in a drawer! It’s hard resisting the temptation to open it! It’s the same model as the one you mentioned - they’re meant to be great from what I hear. 😀

Excellent! Christmas day run sorted! 😂 i'm leaning towards that one i think, the girlfriend's got a garmin and she really likes it.

Oh yes definitely sorted! I’ll be antisocial all day whilst I’m playing with it too! I made it easy for my husband by putting it in the Amazon shopping basket, and all he had to do was push the button to buy it! 😅 Maybe worth a try? 😅
