By then though, we'll all probably had GPS implants that are permanently connected to interplanetarynetwork and it'll all be irrelevant.

It'd be a fantastic piece of kit ... if it could measure distance accurately. Surely not too much to ask?

Jambomo Jun 2015 7:29pm, 23 Jun 2015 5,216 posts	0 Jambomo Would you guys recommend the Fenix then? I am thinking of getting a watch - I want it to track running/cycling and swimming but I want it to be good up in the hills when trail running/hill walking. This sounds perfect but I am a bit worried about some of the reviews I read, as a few have been pretty bad but I can't tell how much they are exaggerating for the Internet as they mostly seem to be talking about the poor GPS accuracy. How bad is it really? To be fair I probably don't need anything that amazing as I'm not exactly a top end athlete but I do rather like my gadgets - is there anything watch that folk would recommend?
