Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I took the plunge the other day and ordered the Garmin Fenix 3 watch that I’ve been wanting for a while to replace my Forerunner 910XT. It’s a ridiculous amount of money for a watch, especially as I wanted the Sapphire Glass version with the new ‘Run’ Heart Rate Monitor Strap, but it’s nice to treat…
As an Apple Fan-boy, you’d expect me to be excited about the new Apple Watch, but for me it just doesn’t seem to do enough. Now I know that it’s a first generation product and will therefore improve in future iterations. I also know that often Apple products do less than their competitors, or have...
As many of you may know, I’ve had numerous problems with the altimeter on my Forerunner 910XT. Since lusting after the Forerunner 910XT back in October 2011, I bought one in February 2012. I then wrote a glowing report on the Forerunner 910XT with my first impressions – it did just about everything I wanted it...
It’s good to see that some companies do in fact listen to their customers. I had a little moan a few days ago about the sudden changes to the Garmin Connect Calendar, and I wasn’t the only one unhappy with the updates. Thankfully it looks as though they have listened to our complaints and have...
I’m not impressed with the new Garmin Connect updates. The calendar part of their online offerings used to be one of the best as far as at a glance viewing of your training was concerned. They had lovely colour coding of different activity types, a brief overview of each of your activities and a weekly...
I’d hoped that after the tumble drier stopped working, the microwave blew up, the septic tank pump failed and the Hard Drive in my computer failed that we had seen the end of expensive things breaking – We can’t afford to replace anything else. But no, now the barometric altimeter in Garmin Forerunner 910XT has...
My new Garmin Forerunner 910XT has been working really well. I’ve used it on a few runs, the odd bike ride and a few times in the pool and it’s been spot on with the routes it has shown and has managed to count every single length in the pool. That was until Friday when...
I got my new training gadget on Friday, a Garmin Forerunner 910XT that I’ve been wanting to get hold of for a while. Stocks are limited and they’ve been a little difficult to get hold of but I managed to get a good deal and excellent service from Tristan at heartratemonitor.co.uk. There was no messing...

There are a couple that I’ve been looking at such as the Swimovate PoolMate PRO Computer Sports Watch and the Finis Adult Swimsense. Something to add to my birthday and Christmas wish list maybe? Both contain...
My beloved and very well used Garmin Forerunner 305 has stopped working. I’ve had it since January 2008 and it has been working flawlessy but now it keeps switching itself off. Sometimes it’ll stay on for a while but if I just touch the casing then it shuts down. I guess it could have got...
