[Closed] Anyone tried the new Aldi GPS watch?

As per title really, it looks loaded with features at the price (£60 for bluetooth, waypoint navigation, HRM included and 16hr battery life) but I'm wondering about the accuracy in wooded sections, as the two reasons I'm getting rid of my Garmin FR10 is the short battery life and inaccuracy on Strava segments in the trees.

A bit of reading suggests that being able to set the GPS recording to 1 second intervals is what counters this, and my FR10 doesn't have this feature. Does anyone know if the Crane watch does?

I was looking/hoping for a review by someone who's got one. The best I can find is chat on Fetcheveryone...

Or maybe the manual can answer your particular query...

No mention of being able to change the sampling interval in the manual, so I'm guessing it's automatic which is a shame as it invariably results in lower accuracy. Still a bargain if you don't take Strava too seriously like I do!
