[#7780262]

Hi all, last year I was looking at a GPS but didn't buy one due to only using it a couple of times a year alongside a paper map.
I need a new watch and realised I could get a new smart watch. Ideally it would fitness track and give a grid reference. Full map functionality isn't needed.

So, which ones should I look at. BTW large watches look ridiculous on me.

Fenix 3 does that & more. Loads of free apps for it, and looks more watch like than most others. possibly a bit big for you though

Garmin 230/235 is what I'm after. Smaller than a fenix but with a lot of the functionality minus the mapping.

A friend just showed me her fenix 3, looks amazing both in functionality and on her. It's a little expensive for me and doesn't look as good

Jam bo does the 230/235 shows your location? Can't find if it does or just data after the activity.

Looks like you can install a connect app that will:

Thanks that widget looks great, do they do the same for other watches?

If it's connect iq enabled then I guess so.
