part 2! using swmbo's for a couple of days and a shock on the scales has got me realising that I am not as fit as I was kidding myself and far more sedentary. So i am going to buy myself a fitness watch. question is - which one.
It would be good if it was water proof for swimming and needs to measure heart rate , calories expended, steps taken, floors climbed etc. But then I guess all of them do that.
Any recommendations?

Any recommendations? Are you an iPhone user Howard? My Wife swears by her Apple Watch (version 2.0 is waterproof) not just as a fitness tracker but for text/email/social media etc - literally can't cope without it and I have to drop it off at her surgery if she forgets to wear it to work.

Save money get into a routine set aside day/ time each week and do whatever floats your boat take it easy from the start and gradually increase activity. Focus on activity not how to measure it! Good luck.

I use my dogs lead - with me on the end of it!!! Plus one. I don't need an expensive watch to get fit, just eat less, exercise more, stop drinking , cut out sugar. oh it helped me but diabetes got me first.

Yes I am fitter now than I have been for years but that is due to ghe shock ov being diagnosed with type2 diabetes. I wish someone had told me in my forties that a fat gug meant trouble.

part 2! ... So i am going to buy myself a fitness watch. question is - which one.
Any recommendations? Have a look at Fitbit Blaze . The hardware's solid (I've had mine over a year, with no signs of wear). Software is good, and gets regular improvements to the phone & watch. The battery lasts over 4 days, maybe 5 if you're feeling lucky (depending on settings). There's a good range of strap options. & it's often mistaken for an apple watch, which costs 3 times as much Also, it tells the time.  Will

The Withings/Nokia ones are good, watch for offers, never pay full price.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
