Mandymoo Apr 2017 11:59am, 11 Apr 2017 4,613 posts	Quote Pin Mandymoo I have always had a garmin until recently. I was given a Samsung Gear Fit 2 free with my new phone and am finding it to be really good. small enough to wear all day, built in heart rate monitor, lots of different activities, uploads easy etc etc.
Autumnleaves Apr 2017 3:32pm, 11 Apr 2017 10,426 posts	Quote Pin Autumnleaves Just the usual stuff on Fetch - I know you can do it with any logged entry but the one at a time aspect of uploading the FIT file means I don't forget. Plus I can make sure walked miles go in under cross-training so they don't affect my running total.

jdarun Apr 2017 6:06pm, 11 Apr 2017 1,420 posts	Quote Pin jdarun One nice feature of the 235 (versus my older 610 anyway) is that setting the workout type is very easy at the outset. No having to log on and manually change your suspiciously fast runs to bike rides!
Little Critter Oct 2018 7:57pm, 9 Oct 2018 12 posts	Quote Pin Little Critter Just resurrecting this thread in case there’s been any changes. I currently have my phone strapped to my arm and use strava. But find the phone clunky and uncomfortable. I’m not particularly interested in HR but want to track route, pace, time etc etc etc. Looking at the budget end of the range too please.
icenutter Oct 2018 1:06pm, 10 Oct 2018 152 posts	Quote Pin icenutter My wive loves her Garmin 235, but that's about £185, so may or may not count as 'budget'. Its worth it though. She had a Garmin 30 before, and the 235 is way better.
Eynsham Red Oct 2018 1:26pm, 10 Oct 2018 3,328 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red I’ve had a Garmin Forerunner 35 for eighteen months and been very pleased with it. Cheaper than the 235 but not so many whistles and bells. It does the things you listed LC.
Lizzie W Oct 2018 1:31pm, 10 Oct 2018 18,473 posts	Quote Pin Lizzie W I got a more than adequate Garmin 110 off ebay for 15 quid. Unfortunately my Hauwei phone will not communicate with Garmins.
