Time for some kind of activity watch. Garmin Forerunner 30 looks ok.

Main use by far will be daily wearing as a watch & monitoring running but occasional monitoring Cycling, Kayaking, occasional Swimming also.

- Must have:
Heartrate
All normal watch features
GPS

-Nice to have:
Sleep monitor
Daily step count.
Play MP3s to bluetooth speakers

Anything aware of anything better than Forerunner 30 or as good but cheaper?

Anything I've failed to consider?

TIA.

To be honest I’d go up to the FR35 as the 30 does not connect to external sensors at all.

My wife has just got the 35 and it’s a decent bit of kit - much better at proper sports tracking than the equivalent Fitbit.

FR35 is very good doesn't have MP3 to my knowledge.

Thanks all, just the kind of first hand experience I was hoping for: bought the 35.
