Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Can any one recommend a good running watch with 15 hours plus battery life as I need one for an ultra in November. I have a garmin 620 but the battery life just isn't long enough

920xt, Fenix, Ambit. Check out DC Rainmaker.

Or ditch the watch. I was bothered by it in the past, but I've come to realise it doesn't really matter.
I carry a pack on an ultra, so an Etrex in a pocket is there if I really want it. AA batteries mean you can just swap them out and carry on if you are after recording.

Etrex 30 + open maps (free) is about half the price and will help with navigation if you need it at all.

Got something to say?
