I have the 235 model which is old now. Its mid range but does all of the above. Have a Google to see what the latest version of the 235 is. It'll probably have the same features. It's a great brand, can highly recommend Garmin.

I got a ‘Whithings Smart Watch’ as a present. Really pleased with it. Looks just like a normal watch and is compatible with my Samsung phone.

Doesn't it only work if you have a phone? And the phone does exactly the same thing, but better.

Have the Apple Watch myself. Heavily discounted it was. Battery life is poor. Only use it now running.

I have the garmin forerunner as well. Get about 8 or 9 days out of the battery... Around 6 to 7 the weeks I do 3 or 4 runs which is excellent seeing as I bought it 4 years ago.

@shedite...the notifications can be turned off.

I have a Samsung phone so thinking of maybe a Samsung Galaxy watch, either that or a Garmin.


I've the garmin forerunner for exercise but it's too big for wearing all the time. The missus has the apple watch which looks great, I don't like having notifications popping up all day long, so stick to a regular watch for myself
