Hi,
I'm looking at buying a smart/sport watch It's NOT to try & replace my vario etc but just to track exercise, I was wondering if any of you have one? I was going to get the Garmin FR235 but it doesn't have a Altimeter.
Cheers.

Hi Cheele,
Garmin are good, as are the top end Fitbits. The Suunto Spartan is excellent but not cheap! I use an Epson SF-810 for MTB and general tracking - also use this as a back up when flying - start it and forget - it a good accurate tracker and you can export the files to upload into XC or Google maps and such like. I also can recommend Suunto Ambit2 - which is brill. Again when I setting out to fly I just set it away on takeoff and then even if I forget to set my Kobo off I'll still have a pretty accurate flight log.
Some Smart watches have all the sensors as well now.
Cheers
