Thinking of buying a basic GPS watch

[shuffleido]

Hello all. I'm considering buying a GPS watch for running. I quite like the Garmin forerunner 35. Has anyone got experience of this watch? Can you then upload the data to your laptop?

Thanks all the recommendations - just bought the Garmin 45 as it was on offer on amazon.

No personal experience. My mum uses a forerunner and loves it but that is a different version.

Yes it’s good but basic. I’d go for the 45 now

I have a VivoActive 4S, I think it can do less than the forerunner. But I use it as a regular watch too and it looks fancy enough to wear to work and such. It tracks my runs, sleep, heart rate, stress, etc. It uploads my runs for example to an app on my phone and you can then see it online on a laptop too.

I have a Garmin VivoActive 4. It does all I need - has GPS so can it track speed, and it has a heart rate monitor. I have linked it to Strava as well.

45 is on sale on Amazon at £110 at the moment

Thank you for this. It was out of my price range but now for that amount - great. Just purchase one.
