    It really depends on your needs. Perhaps you'd describe the type of sports, level of activity and your goals?

    Where to buy them kind of depends on the watch. For some watches a brick and mortar shop (like Amphibian King) is the best option. For others. amazon.co.uk or similar websites would be the best place to pick one up.

    Thanks for the reply mate - looking for the best watch for running (10 milers/half marathons ect) need one with a heart rate monitor?

    Any plans on swimming/cycling/triathlons?
    Do you do advanced training (intervals, tempos, etc), or more simple training?
    What's the budget like?
