Thanks guys!
Ended up going with the Garmin Venu. The Forerunner 245 appealed with its pace setting and race predictor (May have given me some motivation to do a race and train for something).
Had a look at it and it just didn’t totally appeal to me.
Went with Venu and while it lacks a few of the high end running features, it passes as a simple everyday watch.
Have taken it for a swim and performed pretty well, HR seemed accurate (I wore it reasonably tight to prevent water getting underneath) and it tracked laps well. Was able to use the touchscreen with no issues when wet and underwater.
Went for the first run with it today and enjoyed it without carrying my phone, listening to music, was exactly what I wanted.
Tracks the basics of Pace and HR which I was more interested in. Gives some good graphs at the end.
By no means will it change what I do at this point, I’m not that into it, but it gives some good feedback and look forward to improving my VO2 and SWOLF scores as a bit of motivation.
Got swooped by a f***ing magpie the other week, so I’ve been a bit wary of venturing out. Bastard chased me for like a good minute and wouldn’t let up.
