unfortunately I'm not very good at economical solutions where gadgets are involved and there is any money in my slush fund<g>. I popped into the local Cotswold Outdoor store (just to see what the sizes looked like on my small wrist, honest) and came away impressed by the look of the FR210 but very unimpressed by the price they were asking. On the way out I noticed a poster about a Price Match policy that if anything was cheaper at another retailer, they would match it. I did a bit of Googling and found somewhere that had it on sale and to my surprise they didn't make any objection, which kind of bumped me into a decision as it was nearly £80 cheaper and with the advantage of a local outlet to take it back to if it leaks, as some reviews seem to suggest it might.Sounds like an economical solution.
Downside is that in setting up the display I discovered that although it records cadence, it doesn't display it! You can only see it once uploaded. How stupid is that? Otherwise, it looks nice, normal enough to wear as a watch, and all the setup and upload worked seamlessly and it is certainly a lot lighter than my phone. So I will try it out and see how I get on with it.
