  • Interested in buying an affordable running watch and looking to spend around a £100, Garmin 35 & 45 seem to have decent reviews.

    Anyone have any recommendations ?

  • I've had a forerunner 35 for a few years now, and have been happy with it. The optical HR is a bit whack, but I knew that before I bought it, and use a chest HR strap connected over BLE if I really care about accurate HR measurement. The Garmin companion app is surprisingly okay for a Garmin-produced software product.

    I've had to buy a new charging cable recently as the original wasn't reliable, but that's my only real criticism.

  • You can get a 2nd hand Suunto Ambit Peak3 for under £100, way better than the cheaper Garmin's in terms of functionality, battery life, multisport etc.

  • I have a 45 somewhere that I don't use. Let me see if I can dig it out.

  • Been using a 45 since last year and its been great - would highly recommend. HR can sometimes have a mind of its own but aside from that very impressed
