sallykate Sep 2020 6:49pm, 6 Sep 2020 6879 posts	0 sallykate Oh you'll love it compared to the 910 HB - much much lighter, more wearable, and the Bluetooth upload is a definite advantage.
Dvorak Sep 2020 11:47am, 7 Sep 2020 20672 posts	0 Dvorak I know that nearly everyone has a Garmin, but I've been looking outside the box - as my cheap Aldi watch is acting a bit oddly (measures distance, but stopped displaying it), I've been looking at this hihonor.com although I don't know if it will spit out a gpx (or similar) file, which is essential. There is also a cheaper version, a dearer one about to launch tomorrow (48 hours gps claimed), and a knock-off at £39.99 (!). Anyone have any experience of these? (Actually, if Aldi stocked a new version, I'd probably buy that: I've certainly had my £45 worth from it.)

Rumour has it (the5Krunner site) that a 745 is imminent out there is the already released 645/945 which is the current generation. It will cost more, but do more also. Depends if cost or functionality is your main driver.
