I'm started to have my head turned recently by a lot of these so-called 'fitness trackers' - currently I'm in favour of the Tom Tom Spark Cardio...anybody own one themselves?

Charge HR which does more is only £99 in John Lewis.
Quidco are doing 5% on Sports stuff from Amazon just now so that could save a bit more? I've tried Flubit and they offered an instant discount taking it down to £87.29 but I'll see what their final offer is.
If you want another colour then try Decathlon as they're selling the Charge HR for £89.99 online and in store. They've got black, blue and plum colours but only seem to do the plum in small.

Price went up but it's now back to £89.99 for the Blue Large. Flubit offered it for £83.11 when I submitted it last time.
I think I'm gonna buy the Black Large from Decathlon for £89.99 as I'm not sure about whether you get a 2 year warranty everywhere. Decathlon clearly state 2 year guarantee and there's a store near me so I can sort any problems out easily.

These are £99 on Tesco direct, but they are on club card boost if it helps anyone.

£82.95 @simplyelectronics Tangerine Colour with FREE delivery
Wrong. Price is still £89.99 for a large one in blue.
WaxedPerfection - There's a lot of faulty ones for sale on Ebay so I don't recommend buying from the far east. Your link is blocked for a reason!!! I bought mine from Decathlon with a 2 year warranty. I though it was well worth the extra £7ish for peace of mind alone.
chrisredmayme - Aye, looking back on posts on hukd, there's been some much better deals in the past so if you're not in a rush then it might pay to be patient. Another reason to wait is the technology is improving and prices are dropping so, hopefully, we'll be able to get a fully specc'd GPS smartwatch for the price of a Charge HR in the near future.
ajay87 - I read a lot of articles about the hrm accuracy of the Charge HR and it seems clear it's no good for monitoring your heart rate while doing hard exercise. However, it's accuracy seems to be very good otherwise. I've had circulation problems so one of my main concerns is strengthening my heart and the Charge HR seems to be the best device (apart from wearing a chest strap 24/7) for monitoring your heart rate 24/7. I really like the resting heart rate feature.

That's an excellent way to get one if you have enough vouchers. £50 of Tesco vouchers will get you one for free!

Fitbit: Fitness Tracker's Heart Rate Data Inaccurate by 20 Beats Per Minute, Lawsuit Study Says
"It’s not giving a meaningful measurement," said Jonathan Selbin, a lawyer who filed the suit earlier this year against Fitbit’s Surge, Blaze and Charge HR premium models.

I own the runner 2 cardio. What is exactly the same as a spark just a different colour strap.
Call me old fashioned but i dont bother with all these wires connected to my body. I just run as fast as i can for as long as i can, when i can .When i pass out and come round thats when i ask the paramedic if its a personal best. They will always say yes to prevent me running faster if they say no they know i will be back to run a personal best.

why would you get one of these when a Xiaomi Mi band 1S is £12 at Gearbest?

Unreliable and they break all the time. App issues. Quality issues. The fitbit app is very good....the Mi Band 1s sucks monkeyb***s
Opening post
Checked camelcamelcamel and it looks like it's the cheapest it's been
Hope this helps someone
