Cheers, Riz!

FRP!! Cheers Kev.

What’s the go to QD these days? I’m about out of Bouncers Done & Dusted after about 5 years!

Adding *you Scottish f**k now I've worked out who you are, shipmate.

If they're unfinished metal, buy some metal polish and a drill attachment from Amazon or Ebay (or probably Halfrauds). Treat it like an exhaust. If they've been lacquered, as above but with something basic like Super Resin Polish. That'll do it. If you're local, pop over (Surrey).

That's interesting as I was specifically advised the polar opposite i.e. Apple watches were found to be more accurate than the Garmins. My watch was spot on versus the timing chip for the run on the weekend, but will see how I get on. I bought from Amazon so if it's not up to scratch, I'll...

Cheers, Mike. I agree, the charging thing has already started to annoy me. Heading up to the Lakes, I've had to buy an in car USBC charger and two USBC plugs, given the SE watch doesn't come with anything but a wire... However, tracking at the weekend on a run and it is doing what I want it to...

While the ForeRunner 55 had exactly what I wanted (just tracking times better while running tbh), for £129, it seemed silly not to get something more and future proof a bit. Bought an Apple Watch SE Gen 2 in an Amazon March deal. Testing on Saturday for the Coniston 14m!

That's particularly useful mate, thanks. As realistically I'll just wear it to go running so skipping music and linking to Strava is spot on.

Thanks, folks. Budget wise, £100 is fine, £300 I'd want it to do a lot, £500 for a watch when I have a smart phone feels silly. Appreciate the input. I'm considering just getting a basic ForeRunner 55 and sticking with maps/payment etc with my phone.

I’m looking for a smart watch, predominantly to track my running so it needs GPS. However, I’ve been told that payments, visual maps, offline music and even a torch are just some of the options now available. Does anyone have a running watch they swear by which has all the above?

@Gally I've seen lots of Chinese companies advertising this stuff. Can't quite work out why you'd need to also apply a self levelling ceramic coat on top. I can see it going horribly wrong, but intrigued to try it all the same. @Danith where did your guy get it from?

Which part of the products performance do you mean? It lasts longer than 3 weeks, so durability is approx double that of the above mentioned dedicated product. It beads in heavy rain meaning I don't use my wipers. Yes, it's not as good as G5 or Soft99 Glaco, but it's wet and forget every few...

They videos suggest durability of three weeks. TBH that feels really poor, given I could spray and jet wash more easily using a product like WetCoat.

Thank god the steering wheel buttons are no longer haptic. f**king stupid idea.
