    Anyone buy these when lidl sold them in 2010/11? I heard they were a re-badge of a decent German brand and similar to garmin 305? I need a watch but on a tight budget and I've been offered this for 60e still boxed and all. Any advice? Thanks

    spend a bit extra and get a basic garmin.
    you won't have all the upload functionality available most likely with the Lidl one which is key imo as you can store all your data over time and get analysis and representations on your laptop.

    Thanks glasso. It says it comes with cd and USB etc? Am I missing something?

    My guess is the cd just contains a basic pdf instruction guide.
    The usb cable is probably for charging, and likely not for uploading.

    As suggested, there's a new Garmin out that would be more expensive than the LIDL one, but a great little (reliable & supported) watch for the price.
    Quite a few people got the new Garmin FR10, would be worth getting feedback on how people are getting on with it.

    Garmin has several Garmin and third-party supported online and offline software programs for all its gps watches. Specific device support is needed so it may be difficult to do this with the crivit product. It might output some sort of data but it even if it does there won't be specific support for it like the Garmin will have so it would most likely be a pain (if possible at all) to be able to load the data into the software (either online or offline).
