I guess i just want something to tell me distance and time without having map routes online etc, it called being lazy why do it urself when can get watch to do it haha. Nah it more than that really the watch i use now is basic i have set certain time but don't know splits etc. I thought a garmin may help me with working on speed and may give me some motivation with regards to progress or lack of it.

I know was gutted when i didn't get 305 that time to indecisive. Think i should just get 205 and not think about it lol. Maybe it will commit me and kick my rear end into gear. I guess i could go for 305 pay bit more but for starting out may aswell go cheaper if it same accept HR. It will probably take me a year to suss it out haha.

vonnie, did you apply the voucher code "JLWS4"... i've just tried it and it gave me the extra 10% off?

Hi Richard, i just sorted it had just deleted my previous message as you had replied. I think the web page must have refreshed itself, so i emailed sweatshop and they said they will amend it manually for me, so hoepfully i should get it at reduced price instead of paying 10 quid more.

Great stuff! Welcome to the club.. nothing like a 100 quid toy to get you out of your rut and give you that boost you need!

I know it says allow 42-72 hours or something for dispatch excluding weekend. Never ordered from them before so wouldn't know if normally slow. Hope they get their backsides in gear and get them out soon. When did you order yours Richard?

I got a pair of trainers from them late last year - their delivery was pretty good, but I had to go and collect from the courier depot.

Waiting on a few things but think I'll take the plunge on this 205 at the weekend.

I ordered Friday... I know they state 24-72 hours for dispatch (not including weekends)... but that's pretty poor really isn't it by modern standards? I mean I ordered some stuff off amazon yesterday lunchtime, and by the time I checked my emails in the evening I'd had a response to say all items had been dispatched!

I do have to say i think sweatshop seem to be poor on getting things out asap, i mean we are paying for delivery after all. Like you i have ordered quite few stuff online lately from jjb sale and from amazon and all have excelled themselves in getting items out promptly. Even got them next day in some cases thats what i call good customer service.

Lucky you RE JJB... it took them a week to tell me an item I'd ordered was out of stock - I won't be using them again

For those of you who think the 305 is rather shiny, Amazon have just taken seventeen quid of their price and they're now doing it at a hundred and nineteen with free delivery. I think that's the cheapest around at the moment.

I know how you feel. I thought since it's from Nike the darn thing would work. Instead i have to cock my leg and shake it (then it cuts out again) or just give up out of frustration.

Still showing as £137.91 for me, even after a full refresh.

Edit - do you have a link at all please?
