If you are running the Hobbit, any option including a black bag and dust bin rag tent is worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted February 16, 2021 Share Will probably a month or more before we get it hereI am genuinely interested in this piece of tech. The Suunto 9 can last up to 120 hours which is handy, but this is a whole new level. I see Takealot are selling the Suunto 9 for 6k, which means they probably have a similar 'ultra adventure' watch on the horizon. I like the way this is going. 200 milers, PTL and being able to track an adventure race would be really cool shaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm fairly certain after a couple runs that thing will be pretty rancid, so maybe practicality not so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted February 17, 2021 Share Have you had a look at the Coros range? https://mobile.coros.com/apex.phpI did! The Apex is a fantastic option too at a really good price. I am weighing up a few options on this, especially with 2 x 200 mile races coming up later in the year Barry Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted February 17, 2021 Share So it took what.. 2 days to decide on MacMac 200?Eloff and Frikkie peer pressured me hard..... So it actually took 2 messages from them before I caved. I do really struggle to say no to people when it comes to doing adventures! Chris_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
