cheap GPS watch please!

Cheap Gps watch required by my husband. HRM not required. Doesnt need to be in great condition as long as it works ok & you can download data onto Google maps etc for distance covered.
Scratches on screen ok! Battery needs to last around 6hrs +.
Thanks!

It's in excellent condition, comes with bike pod, bike bracket, obviously the watch, CD rom for downloading everything and a USB to connect the watch to the PC.

No scratches to screen. Will happily e mail pics to you if you wish

Thanks for that(I just read your ad on the for sale page!)

Im sorted with a watch. Went from looking for a cheap watch to getting a Garmin 610 (very cheap on Ebay, brand new...I was very lucky)

However, I'm now thinking of birthday pres for my son who will be 12 in March. All I want really is to be able to upload run info and for it to show up on a map, the distance & speed. HR a bonus, but not important. Dont care about calories etc. Does this watch do this? Ive tried researching but I cant find that info....

Yep it certainly does - this is what the blurb says

( I've never done it though as I only have an i pad and not a PC - I've just used it as a watch !!)

countdown timer - warm up and interval reminder. The Suunto T6 has a useful system to help ensure a senisble warm up followed by an unlimited repeat of time based intervals. An example of this would be: A ten minute countdown to the start. This could be followed by a 5 minute active warm up. After the warm up the T6 will alarm the user that the first interval has started. The user has 2 x interval timers/reminders. These will autorepeat. These can be used for interval timing eg. activity 10 mins, rest 2 mins, or similar.
