Today was my first call with my GOQII coach Charmi – she seems to really know about what she is talking, unlike my previous coach. She collected all the data points related to my marathon training and asked me to look into buying a GPS watch, which should be able to accurately track my pace as well as progress.
I came across three good ones
- Garmin Fenix 3
- Garmin vivoactive HR
- Tom tom spark 3 ( which was released a few days back )
First two are excellent GPS based watches. But the thing is they cost upwards 20,000 and there is no way we can repair in case of any problems, while in India. Tom tom is a new entrant and while I wait until for more reviews, whie it will be released in December, my heart says, I will end up buying it, because of the features and that it fits well within my budget
As of now, I have decided to stick with my phone and ordered a arm band from amazon
