Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I really don't want the chest HRM, hence the 235 - seems odd that the 225 wrist HRM is found to be more reliable than the 235 one... argh I'm a Libran I don't do decisions at the best of times.... thanks SPR

Do you definitely want HR? 230 can be had for £150 ATM.

I find I use the HRM on the fitbit as I don't like the chest strap... do I need it is a good question, as I don't really do anything with the stats.... I did HR train many years ago and did want to get back to a proper training plan next year hence the thinking.... mmmm now more decisions.

Vivoactive HR GPS might be a cheaper option? DCrainmaker recommends it over the 23x but I wanted the workouts option.

Alternatively, Joe Hawk might do you a decent price on his 235.

I want the full stats from the watch I use the 610 now and not sure the vivoactice would give me that?

I've fm'd Joe Hawk.

I'm also thinking if I am patient prices will drop again in a couple of months or unused ones will come for sale too. Thanks SPR

I think you might have missed the price drop if you don't go for it now. Brexit apparently means price rises in the new year. Black's have the 235 at £200 I believe.

I think but can't be sure as I don't have it that the vivoactive will give you all you had on the 610 apart from the ability to do structured workouts.

DCrainmaker's site is great for reviews and comparing products, do a comparison on there.
