I've had this watch for 3 months now so here's some real feedback.
HRM - normally very accurate unless you haven't put the watch on tightly enough. The monitor itself on the wrist is hardly noticeable once you've worn it a few times.
GPS accuracy. Coming from a Suunto Ambit 2, it's never going to be as accurate, however on normal runs with some foliage it's very good. Brighton marathon came out as 26.34 miles - not bad if you cannot run the racing line. GPS pickup is between 8-20 secs, faster side if it's picked up in your location before.
Information wise, it gives you everything you need with the associated connect software - the only thing missing is ability to highlight specific parts of a run to analyse speed etc.
Bluetooth connection to your phone works well though I've never used it as a smart watch.
Battery lasts relatively long - 45 miles in a week and a few extra days easily (that's wearing it 24/7 for the HRM).
I will replace this watch, but only when Suunto bring out an integrated HRM version.
4.2/5
Final comment: I had a tomtom spark/runner 2 for a month prior to this during marathon training - please don't buy one as compared to this they are appealing for GPS. Flat, open Parkrun (3.1m) would alway come out at 2.9 miles at 7.35 min/mile even though the time was around 21:15 mins

Reviews Amazon 3.5/5 ( 53 Reviews) not great. Although unsure of difference between this & 230 £191 which has 4.6/5 ( 16 Reviews).

I paid £20 more for the 230 without a HRM and it's a brilliant watch. Highly recommended.

230 and 235 are effectively the same watch, except the 235 has the integrated heart rate monitor and the 230 does not.
The 230 can be bought using the same deal, which comes out at £136

Been holding on for a deal this good. Must have read 100+ reviews. Was worried about the accuracy of the HR monitor but for £160 really is worth a punt. Shame they dont have the black and Grey options. Great find OP, £190 is the best i have found and I have been looking now for 2 months. Cheers.

Amkreth you incredible person! I was literally about to buy this watch today from amazon after missing the blacks Forerunner 630 model. Got a marathon in a week so this will be handy.
You just saved me ~£70. You're incredible!

Good price. However, the little knuckle on the underside, which houses the HRM optics, is not terribly comfortable. Further, the HRM data it supplies can be a bit sketchy, much as it's interesting to have constant monitoring.
