Like many others on here it seems Madam Strava has me in her evil thrawl, and while logging rides (and the odd run) with my mobile is a perfectly acceptable way of doing it, I can’t help thinking something thats a bit more convienient, accurate, robust and that perhaps tracks Heart rate as well would make good sense for me.
I’d rather not add yet another item to my bars so I’m thinking one model or another of garmin forerunner (or any other manufacturer’s equivalent product) would be ideal, I don’t tend to monitor my progress while on a ride, but the convienience of having something on my wrist that I can start at the beginning and stop at the end of a ride seems about right…
So which model of HRM/GPS wrist-watch for a Starva using, 90% MTBist, 8% Road-cyclist, 2% Run-ist?, Middling fatness user…
My key concerns would be accuracy/log rate, if it’s no better than my phone then there’s not really much point, battery life again my phone can comfortably manage 5+ hours of logging on a full charge I’d really expect a pukka device to exceed this by a good margin anything less than 8-10hrs of useful logging time on a single charge/battery would be pretty poor to my mind… Oh and it shouldn’t cost the earth either…
So who Know what about dem ting then?
