Greetings everyone, this watch is back down to a really awesome price, last time it was around this price was a few months ago.

Available in Black/Grey,Marsala and Frost Blue colurs.

Description:

• GPS Running Watch with Wrist-based Heart Rate
• Tracks distance, pace, time, heart rate and more
• Connected features¹: automatic uploads to Garmin Connect™, live tracking, audio prompts, smart notifications and social media sharing
• Activity tracking² counts daily steps, distance, calories and sleep
• Download data fields, watch faces, widgets and applications from Connect IQ™

Please Note:

It is thoroughly worth noting that this deal can be made a lot better by purchasing at The Good Guys and claiming back on their 30 Day Guarantee Claim form.

This way it would be: Purchase at TGG for $469, then fill out the form after the purchase which shows the $249 price at JB. This will trigger them to send you 120% of the price difference in the form of an EFTPOS card, which will be a $264 Eftpos Card. This could essentially turn the price into $205. Also 2.5% Cash Rewards would trigger on TGG if you use that online, which would bring the price even further down to ~$193.

You can now get an extra $50 store credit if you opt for the good guys option and choose C&C.

This option might only last a short time as they usually get onto the price differences relatively quickly.

Edit 830pm: Now available for the same price at Harvey Norman

As always, enjoy :)

  The interface feels sluggish

    Have been using for more than two years. I have no issues with the UI at all. It is not a fancy smartwatch. It is for runners.

  Forerunner 245 is rumoured to be on the way later this month. Still, a great price for a very good watch.

  I bought one of these from JB earlier this year, the battery life doesn't even last 1 week and I don't even use the GPS functions anymore, is it worth taking back? I know it comes with a 1 year warranty but how would I prove the terrible battery life?

    Bluetooth is a battery killer, it will only last 3-4 days max if you have bluetooth on and don’t actually do anything else like a run.
    Mine can last a couple weeks even with about 6hrs+ of running brfore going flat without using bluetooth.

      Odd, mine easily lasts a week with Bluetooth and heart rate monitor both always on and maybe 2 hours of running a week?

        Same as mine. I get one week easily with about 1 hour run, BT and HR.

        Mines getting on, had it for over two years now but battery life has been consistent, except bluetooth kills mine quick but rarely use that anyway unless transferring data

      Madfrega on 09/11/2017 - 14:06

      Sorry should have said I never use the Bluetooth either! I popped into a jb before and they said they'd look at it and would be able to repair or replace it

        sigh on 09/11/2017 - 15:56

        Yeah, that’s an issue then for sure

  Love this watch. I had the 610, vivoactive and now this (got it one year ago). This takes the cake - chest heart rate straps might be more reliable but it's so much easier not to have to remember to put it on. I've run about 600km using this watch including a 56km ultra and it's never skipped a beat, as well as 1800km cycling. It's fantastic for running especially being able to upload different training plans and sessions, easily look back at stats from previous runs etc.

  I reckon I'll have this for at least another year if it lasts, but obviously if you're going for this you should also consider one of the newer models. I paid $236.80 for mine and that was a year ago, and before it was superseded!

    I also use an external HR strap for my running and cycling. This is a great watch and for this price it is a steal

  This deal has just gotten even better with the good guys price match, you can now get an extra $50 store credit if you opt for the good guys option and C&C, but unfortunately looks like stock is very limited for C&C.

    I can still see old price over $400 on Good guys website…

      Yeah didn’t think they’d drop it, did you read the description in the post about the good guys option?
