I've lost a few watches in the drink over the years. I don't wear a watch at all now, but sometimes it would be nice to know if I can squeeze in another half hour on the water. My eyes are too dodgy to read my Canmore screen, so I'm thinking about getting a gps watch so I can also get some idea of my speed, but only use the Canmore for GPSTC upload. I would also like the watch to be useful for other thingas like running, cycling.
So...
1/ is the Garmin VivoActive a suitable contestant?
2/ i usually lose my watch through broken pins (hate the vulnerability of this design). Has anyone ever tried slipping over a neoprene band with a hole for the watch face. Any other ideas?
