Good choice. You’ll be very happy on your next run.

I've got the Forerunner 735XT, an absolutely excellent piece of kit, it's capable of recording soo much information, vertical oscillation, etc.

I hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Is that the 30?35? I have the forerunner 30 and absolutely love it. It has enough info for me without confusing me too much

Good luck with your lovely new watch

35 . Just reading through the instructions. I will be interested to see what my heart rate is while out running as I've not had a watch before

Excellent choice. It’s the one I lust after, but can’t afford. I have the 25, and it is super easy to use. I’m sure you’ll love it.

I've not had one before so thought I would treat myself 😊

I had the 110 first, and then lost it 😕

The 25 is much smaller and I rarely take it off, it is so comfy.

And seriously? A doddle to use.

Nice... I love mine. Very simple to work and even easier if you set the activities up on your phone. I only really touch the buttons to start the run. My top tip is to go outside and get a lock on the satellites ASAP... the first time it can take a few minutes.

Great, I reckon you'll love it! I'm over the moon with mine (va3) well besides the fact it doesn't give me enough credit for going up n down the stairs lol!

It’s the same as mine. I got mine when I’d completed C25K for my 60th birthday. I love it, bet you will too 😊
