GPS Running Watch

[Logan1980]

I have been using a Fitbit Blaze watch to track my runs since I completed the App but I am finding that it is always loosing connection and the map is always really off. I am thinking of maybe investing in a new watch but there are so many options and the prices can get very expensive. Has anyone had experience of some of them to help guide me? Thanks.

About 2 months ago I bought a garmin forerunner 35. It also connects to your phone via the garmin connect app. Once you get used to it , it can give you lots of information and hasn't let me down at all

I'm using an amazfit bip watch which also comes with a phone app, it is very good at connecting to satellites and also provides great info. It is also a very customisable watch too and the battery lasts easily over 3 weeks

It’s worth investing in a GPS watch. You don’t have to spend a fortune. You can get a Garmin Forerunner 15 on eBay for £20 second hand. I had one for 2 years. Worked perfectly and was very accurate. It linked to Strava via Garmin Connect.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 35 now which is about £100 new or £70 second hand on eBay. Links straight to your phone, smaller with more features. I now wear it every day and I also use it as an activity tracker. Battery is excellent and only needs a charge about once a week even including longer runs. Unless your a triathlete you don’t need anything more.

Strava is a free app. It will be as good as the GPS on your phone. For a watch my choice would be Garmin.
