Jovi Runner Aug 2019 5:04pm, 5 Aug 2019 6,384 posts	0 Jovi Runner I wea4 my Garmin FR35 all the time but that is predominantly as it's only watch I have for telling the time too. I do like to record my steps & aim for 15,000 average each year. I do find it helps me get out the door on some days when I'm otherwise am having a CBA moment.
57.5 Degrees of Pain Aug 2019 5:11pm, 5 Aug 2019 4,804 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I 'won' our local Boxing Day 5k last year, run on those lines Jabberknit. Never been close before in 3 other attempts. I like anything that motivates me to get out and run. Sunshine and scenery are not always guaranteed year round, podcasts and a nice GPS track are more dependable!
Lip Gloss Aug 2019 6:03pm, 5 Aug 2019 35,256 posts	0 Lip Gloss I only wear my Garmin for running or going for a specific walk so I have never used it to count my steps or what calories I have eaten etc.
quimby Aug 2019 6:11pm, 5 Aug 2019 4,344 posts	0 quimby I mostly wear my Garmin all the time I am awake, but it is my watch too. I do find it useful as an arse-kicker if I've been sat still for too long - my back plays up if I don't move reasonably often. Also I like the fact that it tells me a summary of texts/emails that arrive on my phone. I can also pay wirelessly with it in shops. Grep - for vitamin D, I recommend DLux vitamin D spray. A lot nicer than tablets.

PaulaMc Aug 2019 9:42am, 6 Aug 2019 8,398 posts	0 PaulaMc Ditto for what Quimby and Macca said. Although I don't use it to pay for things (not yet, anyway).
Jovi Runner Aug 2019 10:07am, 6 Aug 2019 6,387 posts	0 Jovi Runner Won't ever use it to pay for things. I worry bout people skimming it (I keep all my cards in one of those Faraday metal card holder wallet things).
