I don't have much of a clue about these things so be gentle, but I read Fitbit are supposed to be releasing some new super duper watches of this nature. | |

What's the difference between the 210 and 410? | |

I've got a forerunner 410 for running/cycling. Wouldn't wear it day to day though, charging it up all the time would be a fag. | |

quote: Whilst a lot of the smart watches have heart rate sensors (which aren't particularly accurate from reading reviews), you'd still (with the majority of them) need your phone for GPS tracking. And it's a similar story for most of the fitness wrist bands; they'll track a few things but you'll need your phone for the GPS tracking. Then there is the cost of a smart watch or fitness band which is the equivalent to a reasonable Garmin or Polar watch anyway. Plus if you're taking your phone then you might as well ditch the watch/wrist band and if you want it, use a ANT+ (if your phone supports it)/bluetooth heart rate monitor etc. Easiest is to find out what features she's after and what sports she's wanting to use it for. Although if she plans to track swimming then a watch is about your only option but you're heading in the £250/300+ region for something like the Fenix 2 as John posted. | |

What about a smart watch? I've seen Sony knocking something out that does fitness stuff? | |

Have a look at Polar or Garmin's; something like a Garmin Forerunner 10/110/210 (£100-150 area) or Polar M400 (£160). Personally i'd opt for Polar's over Garmin as you tend to get a few more features for the money but you'll find there isn't a huge amount of direct comparability with fitness apps unlike Garmin's, instead you have to convert the watches data using third-party apps or websites - it's easy enough but it's another added step. | |
