So I did ask before on the 700 miles thread but it was about a million pages ago. I need a new Garmin. I have a 310XT (I think - old orange triathlon model) which I like but it is getting slow, battery is dodgy and I've lost it anyway. Looking at Forerunner 735XT (which I think was recommended to me by 700 milers) but also at Vivoactive 3 which is significantly cheaper. I run, swim and bike. I also do crossfit but I don't need a watch for that. I VERY OCCASIONALLY do triathlon but have never worked out how to use the multisport feature of the old garmin anyway and only ever used it one discipline at a time. So: any tips? Is Vivoactive enough for my purposes? Or is the Forerunner 235 multisport significantly better? I'm a half-serious middle-aged wannabe, rather than a competitive athlete. |

Have you got a budget in mind? That's usually a useful steer. |

Do you definitely want it to record swimming. And is your swimming indoors or outdoors (i.e. do you need GPS swimming)? |

Budget is I've no idea but don't want to pay loads extra for unneedes stuff. I would like it to be usable in the pool. I don't want it to buy my groceries. |
