Hi
so i am in the market for a new multisport watch for when i am working from home and going to get all fit and healthy and shit 
i currently have (somewhere) a tomtom runner 2 but it is old and lost.
i dont want to spend more than £150 really but do want gps (not connected gps), HRM or ability to link to a chest strap, nice looking, ability to link to strava cos if it isnt on strava did it really happen??
i would like to monitor running/walking, cycling, gym/strength training and swimming as a minimum.
hit me!!! |

"Withings Steel
i have been looking at the withings ones, but do you need your phone on you for the GPS to work? i like my tomtom because the gps is more accurate than my phone."
Yes you do but I think they have created a new one with GPS in it ? Maybe not |

"Totally depends on phone. We both love our Samsung watches, both have different ones, but do all that we need
why does it depend on the phone?"
Well a Samsung watch syncs better with a Samsung phone. Believe an apple watch only works with iphone... |

I’ve been a fan of Fitbit for a while, and on about my 4th model now .... the Versa 2.
It measures all the things I need it to - including sleep, and does link to Strava.
I swear by mine.

ah ok, i get it. i was more looking at non-phone related ones as i will probably change my phone from huawei next upgrade due to the whole ban thing lol although i do like the look of the huawei watches which is a bummer |

having said that i would take my phone with me for safety anyway so i guess it doesnt matter that much lol |

Definitely Garmin. Massive range but you probably won't need anything top of the range like the Fenix 6. You can easily pick a second hand one up for your budget. I've been doing triathlon for 3 years with a second hand Garmin forerunner 920XT and it's still perfect. Do your research but you won't be disappointed. The Garmin app is brilliant and synchs perfect with Strava. |

I had a tomtom watch for years and was generally pleased with it. At Xmas though I got a Garmin because it would work with a new cycling computer... the Garmin is loads better, particularly the 14 day battery life.
