Fit bits and such like

I dropped loads of hints in the run up to Christmas that I wanted a fit bit or some other monitoring device but my wife bought me a pair of shoes and a man bag. I am therefore having to purchase one for myself and do the necessary research. By research I mean asking you lot if you have one/ know about them/ done your own research before buying.

I would probably like one which also acts as a watch and has a display when exercising (I run, cycle and swim) plus it would be good to know my sleep as I am convinced it is a mess.

Any advice appreciated.

Got Garmin Forerunner 235 for Christmas. It has all of the above with GPS/GLONAS for running AND wrist based HR measurement.

Love it!

Ah - I've got some Amazon gift vouchers burning a hole in my pocket and was going to go for the 235. The launch of the new range has been nicely timed for me.

I'm just slightly annoyed that the lumo yellow is only for the 230, whilst the 235 is black or slightly effeminate baby blue.

I went for the Black/Red option. Not sure I could wear yellow on a permanent basis.

It does smart watch functionality when paired with an iPhone though.

(You have reminded me of my big fear: I spend £250 on the Garmin and Apple bring out a considerably better Apple Watch in March that has me feeling all regretful!)
