Fitness Gadgets

Hi All

Can the people out there that use the Fitbit wristband type gadgets recommend any?

i want to start tracking my cycling sessions. NY resolution that's lasted 2 weeks so far!

Is there one that can gps track the route of kiting / windsurfing also?

Cheers

if for just cycling, just download strava on your phone and away you go. no need to buy a watch. for water based sports I use my Suunto Ambit 2S, but like said above the Garmins to a top job too.

I take my phone out when I SUP and use strava for it also - depends if you want to risk your phone going in the drink or not I guess

Strava is the ducks nuts for tracking cycling. Can use it for other stuff as well.

I have used a Garmin Forerunner 305 for 10-12 years, mainly for cycling, but it was originally bought for other stuff. I just got a Velcro strap and strapped it onto the stem. It sat in the perfect position for riding and could never fall off. I would plug it in to charge each night and it would automatically download the day's track log.

I recently retired it because the battery would not hold charge. It works ok but you have to charge it and use it straight away.

I used it a bit for surfing and paddling and kiting. If I get a need for retail therapy I might by one of the new Garmin watches. I quite like the idea of a heart rate monitor that doesn't need a belt.

My wife has used a few. The best is Garmin, in whichever flavour fits. As for heart rate unfortunately a chest strap is still the most reliable.

I use a Garmin Forerunner with a HR monitor. Chose it because it's waterproof and as mentioned the garmin connect site is pretty good, provides lots of feedback. I use it for running, cycling and windsurfing

simple unit but useful for my needs
