Help! Need a new garmin

2 watchers

ITG Aug 2019 3:17pm, 6 Aug 2019 7583 posts	0 ITG 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.

ITG Aug 2019 4:58pm, 6 Aug 2019 7585 posts	0 ITG 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.

Got something to say?
