Either would be ok going by the list of watches here - Monthly Roundup – July 2017. I'd always check out the reviews on DC Rainmaker's site as well.

Check this out. Would also advise on dc rainmaker review. Price is hard to believe but source is absolutely solid.

Wow, great price, looks like I missed it, out of stock now.

Still havnt invested in a watch as yet, not a big fan of spending huge money on a watch.

Any other recommendations for good priced Garmin/Tomtom etc ?

Thanks !

I would recommend the geonaute range from Decathlon if you can get your hands on one. Cheap and great battery life. Picked this one https://www.decathlon.co.uk/onmove-120-gps-watch-id_8374050.html up in France in the springtime and wear it as a watch all the time now. it's €70 in France - https://www.decathlon.fr/montre-gps-onmove-120-id_8374050.html

If you know anyone over there on holidays I don't think you can get better for the money.

Forgot to check stock levels before posting so I very well may have missed the deal myself!!!

Just checked Done deal and there appears to be some decent Garmin up for sale. A Garmin Forerunner 225 on page 1 stands out. Should come within your budget with a bit of bargaining.

Best of luck.

This was the best I could find at the moment, but might hold out for another week or so, another bargain bound to show up surely:D

Great find, thank you ! I couldn't pick the large strap size at first ( painful website or just me ?? ), went back in from fresh and let me pick the option of the large strap, going to order this one, perfect for what I want and perfect within my price range.
Tells me free shipping, but still trying to charge me, will keep at it, painful website to use , great bargain if I can get the purchase completed hassle free.

Thank you for that.

Ordered this one above, when you search Tomtom spark on the website , it brings up a list of watches and this one displays at £58.99, when you click on the product and add it to the basket, it changes the price to £69.99 + shipping .

I called Tomtom customer service, they acknowledged the error and sent me a discount code to apply to bring it down to £58.99 + free shipping.
Very pleased with that, getting it shipped via parcel motel because the euro price is way excessive compared to the Sterling price.

Looking forward to it arriving now, great price !
Thanks again.
