Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Mudsimus]

You should also get the Tomtom runner watches for under 2k. Even less tomorrow.

I see the Garmin Forerunner 25 (large) is on a nice special at Takealot for R2200 (40% discount).

 

From what I seen on reviews it seems to be a good value for money and with the special at Takealot it seems to be a bargain.

 

Any other good alternatives or is the Forerunner 25 the best buy for the price bracket ?

 

Will use it to record data and while running to monitor my pace, distance, HR.

 

 

 

Its even cheaper today on their daily deals R1899

Thanks, I am in two minds, not sure if this one is the best option with a battery life of 9-10 hours.

 

Perhaps I should rather spend more and buy the correct one from the start as the idea is to do the Comrades in 2018.

 

Looking at the 230 or 235 at the moment.

Man I am in two minds about getting that Fenix 3. Is it worth it? I see totom have a watch called the adventurer that does not seem to bad. Any advice will be apriciated.

Where you seeing a Fenix 3 deal? I'd avoid TomTom for now as they're still finding their fit a bit in the market (gps watches) from what I understand

I'm also considering parting with my Ambit Peak Sapphire to get a Fenix - there was a deal on the Sapphire Fenix last night that I sadly missed... just not sure I want to do the Fenix not in the sapphire version... decisions decisions

At cwc. It's just still a lot of cash. Now I'm not sure if I need that much watch.

if you gonna get a FR25 then buy a spare strap. I basically gave mine away the other day..still in good condition for about R400 because a new strap was R600 and mine was needing replacing. Battery life on the FR25 was at best 7 hours...I ran with 2 comrades using it as a stopwatch. I now have the FR230 which has a normal strap connection and will easily last for comrades

I reccon I'm going to stick to strava. The only thing I really want is the option to navigate and follow a route but I can't justify the price for that.
