Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The 630 and 230 have been discontinued so you might have trouble locating them

Where it says previous models. You can still buy them where shops have stock but they aren't being made any more. I noticed both weren't on show at the Garmin VLM expo stand.

Peacey I just upgraded to the 935 hoping to get some tri's in some time and it has a better battery life, a friend got me it from America working out cheaper than here. I like it.

A mate got a 230 a while ago on offer from sweatshop (using a code).

That's a good price Peacey. I got the vivoactive for 140 a year or so ago. I'm a cheapskate. :-) G

Not as much as me. I paid only £99 for the Vivoactive on a Black Friday deal about 18 months ago ;-)
