    Advise needed re a GPS watch

    I have big wrists 8 3/4" and would like a simple GPS watch like a Garmin 10, but they all seem to have integral straps that are either not long enough or uncomfortable.

    Does anyone know any with replaceable straps ?

    Cheap and cheerful is fine as only want to track distances I walk, and I do not have/want a smart phone!!

    Cheers

    I have a Garmin Fenix 2 (it can't really be described as cheap though - but there are plenty of used versions around now the Fenix 3 is out). It has interchangeable straps and could be used with a Nato type strap. Most of the cheaper Garmins have either built in straps until you get to the higher end models unfortunately.

    Thank you, I couldn't find a version that I could wear on a simple nato !!

    These more expensive versions look very complicated? Too many functions, really only looking for distance travelled, time taken and may be a map record.

    Cheers

    The Forerunner 10 and 15 definately have changeable straps. Just had a quick peek at the website and seem to come in a large size.

    A Forerunner 10 will tell you all that you want; Mrs Megatron has one and on closer inspection and google Tumpter is spot on; a large strap is available for around £15. I bought my Mrs' one for about £75 and it she is very happy.
