Replacement for Garmin 305

2 watchers

Cotty67 Nov 2016 1:57pm, 11 Nov 2016 881 posts	0 Cotty67 Have had a Garmin 305 for 9 years and had it sorted a few times but has now officially died. Can anyone recomend something cheapish that basically had a sat nav and can tell me miles ran and at what pace, no other functionality required ??

HappyG(rrr) Nov 2016 2:39pm, 11 Nov 2016 26,094 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Ooh, +1 for me for vivoactive. 3 vivoactive recommendations on one page - interesting! £120 (about same as 305 was back in the day?) - fine for GPS, pace, distance, time. Compatible with 305's HR monitor strap, if you like HR. And then all the clever new stuff: Facebook, email, text and call alerts on your wrist. Weather, music etc. Fitbitty stuff, steps, step goal Best bit - finds satellites fast, and uploads quickly and reliably via your phone. Small, slim, decent battery life. I wear it as an every day watch, same as minardi above. G

Cotty67 Nov 2016 2:44pm, 11 Nov 2016 884 posts	0 Cotty67 It's the TT2 I was looking at, will have a look at the Garmin 10. Basically all I want to be able to do is see how far I have run and at what pace and I always log it on here but have been doing that manually for years !! Thanks for help going to look at reviews.
