Subject: Need Help Choosing A Garmin Watch...Or Any Watch for Run/Bike/OWSwimCurrently I use a Garmin Forerunner 210. Its old...and starting to get glitchy...maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist but every time Garmin sends out a software update it seems to get worse. lol.
so I need to pick a new watch. The Forerunner 210 served me exceptionally well for running and biking, but was awful for OWS's. The statellite simply couldnt lock onto it. I've only had to replace the heart rate strap this year.
Can you recommend a good watch to replace my old Garmin? I like the Garmin brand but not sold completely on it. I need something with a HR chest strap, and a foot pod for those records.
Garmin's website is awful for trying to navigate. And if I dont need to spend $600 bucks on a watch i dont want too. I just need something that will perform like my old 210...but also work in the water.
Can you help me out? Are there other more reasonably priced sports watches out there with the same features?
(One last point: I've read a number of articles in Science journals that HR Monitors from the wrist watch itself can be upto 15% off the accurate HR and chest straps are still the best option..hence why I like that feature. )
Thanks in advance!
