Tim of Fife Oct 2021 5:10pm, 9 Oct 2021 3,547 posts	0 Tim of Fife I am a technophobe. Is there a watch which will give me.... (a) Distance and time run (b) Access to pre-loaded music. Thanks

chunkywizard Oct 2021 10:12pm, 9 Oct 2021 12,771 posts	0 chunkywizard Garmins like 245M, 645M, 945 and various Fenixes. Music can be from Deezer, Amazon Music or Spotify (if you have a subscription) or it will play MP3s. Headphones have to be Bluetooth. I use it all the time. You also get an added bonus of alerts via the headphones as well.
