Thanks for the replies folks.
I actually did a full u turn a bought something completely different. I went into Go outdoors and came out with an Ambit3 Peak…
After owning a couple of Garmin watches with power hungry displays with all the bells and whistles, I thought id have a look at going back to raw basics with a solid tried and tested watch that focuses solely on the outdoors with a solid construction and decent battery life.
I bought it thinking that I could take it back within 28 days so could get a refund if I didn’t like it. After having a play for a few days I absolutely love it! It feels solid and more of a proper rugged abusable trail watch rather than a smart activity tracker watch. I can just leave it on with no concern about the battery and it does everything I need.
Ive now realised the features that the ambit doesn’t have from my last garmin were actually a little gimmicky(to me anyway)…………. the weather forecast was never accurate, 24/7 HR was was absolutely no use to me whatsoever (so therefore wrist hr was pointless) and I never really bothered with the daily tracking features like steps,floors,sleep etc.
Thanks again for the replies and if anyone has an ambit3,i’ll no doubt speak to you in that forum.
