Best value for money GPS watch?

AndrewT Posted: 3 October 2012, 2:59 AM   Sup people, hope everyone is well. Thought this place would be a good hive mind of info about GPS watches. What's the best value for money GPS watch and from where? I don't have an iPhone and just want a simple but accurate enough GPS watch for tracking my trail running/tramping. Ability to add an HRM is a bonus, but not a must. Cheers!   Dwayne Posted: 3 October 2012, 8:57 AM   I would buy the Garmin FR10 if I didn't need the HRM for less than $200 delivered from Wiggle (brand new model available soon) http://www.wiggle.co.uk/run/gps-running-computers/ Best review site is: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/p/product-reviews.html   m.g Posted: 3 October 2012, 9:18 AM   Another option is the older model Garmin Forerunner 305, which is listed reasonably often on 1-day.co.nz for $200. It may appear to be on the clunky side, but having a HRM included as well as 1-second gps recording is great value.

Apart from a few with Suunto, that's the only brand anyone seems to have.   theoman Posted: 4 October 2012, 12:16 PM   Polar also offer a gps watch, however you require an additional arm unit which measures the gps and sends the data to your watch. Garmin is definitely the best.   Dwayne Posted: 10 October 2012, 1:51 AM   If you're planning on buying this week you can get 25% of list price of in stock items at Wiggle until Tomorrow.
