For anyone looking to buy a Garmin device

Found this site yesterday, and thought I could share this with the community.

They have some really good deals - with 12 month warranty, and it is from the manufacturer.

 

Happy shopping

Does anyone know - Garmin uses Garmin Connect. Can I export my activity to Strava??

I run a garmin forerunner ... From Strava I just open the garmin folder on my pc  once the activity has downloaded and import it to Strava...works perfectly . A mate of mine had a equipment down so it didn't record his ride as we did exactly the same ride,,,i just sent him the file he popped it into his strave dashboard no problem.

If your Garmin has bluetooth and you have a phone with bluetooth and Garmin connect/strava they communicate with each other. No need to do it manually. Boom

If you snooze you lose... :unsure:

 

Any use in getting the Forerunner 10 then? I only see "running" everywhere, and I only run when something is chasing me...

Not too late. Seems you need to log in with to your bank via Pay-U, which requires your card number, pin and password. That's a bit dodgy

Hi all, I'm a Garmin Business Partner, if you are looking for anything Garmin eg. Automotive, Marine, Aviation, Health and Fitness etc please give me an opportunity to quote

I upload to Garmin connect (BT from my phone straight after a ride) and from there automatically to Strava/Endomondo and Vitality. Before I had a BT Garmin I just did it via my PC with Garmin Express but same process from Connect.

Flip. Tried now, somebody else beat me to it.

Thanks for the link! I went for the Forerunner 225 - I'll decide later if I give it or my current TomTom to my wife. Either way, she'll appreciate not having to wear the chest strap.

 

Edit: appears to be even less suited for cycling than the Tomtom Runner 2, so wifey's it will be.

I have purchased from them before, quick n easy free delivery, 2 days later for an item that only cost R108

 

Thanks again for the TIP, I got myself the forerunner 225, got confirmation of the payment and order
