I saw a thread about running trainers a few days ago which was helpful. Trainers-wise I’m sorted but I’m on the lookout for a new running watch as my old one has decided to pack in.

Any good recommendations? I know Garmin models are usually the go-to.

I have the basic Garmin forerunner 110 which I think is now the 55. Does everything I need including distance, time, pace etc. Retails about £150.You can spend some daft money on them with all the whistles and bells but you will probably find you don't need/use them.

There are lots of running watches about, I have a Garmin fenix myself and think it’s great. My advice would be go for one that has a heart rate monitor.

I have a Garmin 645 Music, picked it up 2nd hand on facebook a while back for about 100 quid I think it was - pleased with the purchase, connects to my headphones wirelessly and measures everything I want it to. The real question is what do you want out of a running watch and then buy accordingly.

Just had an email off Garmin.com. They’re having a 24hr sale today

I have a Fitbit Versa 3 and although I don’t use it for running it does tell me that my heart rate is dangerously high when I’m taking narcotics.

I use a garmin forerunner 35. Does everything I basically need, connects direct to garmin connect on my phone & laptop. Picked it up on offer from amazon for £75.

If you just want something basic (distance, speed, heartrate, GPS) then you can pick up an Amazfit Bip 2 for about £35. 30 day battery life aswell. Been using one for about 2 years now.
