HI there everyone, not been on here for a while after IM last year but I'm back!!!!
Anyway, I'm looking to treat myself to a new watch and was interested in getting a GPS one. I've looked at a few and still cant decide..... I liked the look of the new Timex Ironman GPS but the reviews that I read gave it a right kicking. I want one that is HR and GPS and you can still wear day to day...
ANY IDEAS??????????

£240
For that you can get a Garmin 305, HRM, cadence sensor enough left over for a Garmin FR60 watch with HRM and still have change
It has the functinality for HRM built in as well as for power meters etc. However, make sure you buy one with the HRM chest strap. Search the web for best prices & it'll be pretty obvious

Out of interest has anyone got 310....any good??
You can get a nice mount for the bars with the 310xt which is simple and easy to use. Bought mine on handtec.co.uk! Do it
EDIT: only use this as a training watch - not as every day.. have a cheap HR off eBay

It's a dedicated bike computer but I like to be able to see my stats in front of me while I'm riding, rather than having to keep removing my arm from the bars which is aerodynamically inefficient
I've got a 310XT.
In the water its not that great, its about 2 years old now and the heart rate monitor is a bit sporadic at times.
I've got the bike mount for it and it connects to the cadence meter no problem, its also good for running, I have the screen, split in 4, with average pace giving good constant feed back on pace.
its okay but not without its faults.
What about this baby ? ?
Any ideas!!!!! I can imagine its really simple, but to me the watch does that much I dont know where to start!
I'm thinking of setting up a course on how to use your Garmin. Will only charge £30 an hour hehe
But a good watch once you've set it up (I like it anyways )
