£200 still not bad but a bargain it aint...
edit: Deal edited - just realised topcashback (amount unclear - 2.3 - 6.9% on price less VAT) which brings it down a bit.

Has been this price at Milletts and Blacks for a while now, and their codes also dont cover Garmin so presumably they are all part of the same group? Waiting for it to drop a bit lower!

It was cheaper a while back but I think exchange rate fluctuations have pushed the price up :disappointed:.

The Forerunner 230 is also available with the Garmin soft strap heart rate monitor for £185.00. Identical watch to the 235 but doesn't have the optical HRM built in. Most reviews appear to indicate that the strap HRM provides a more accurate count. Especially if weight training as well.
Still waiting for it to come down further after xmas though. I think it was down to c. £150.00 all in for Black Friday but I missed it.

I don't think this was that low on BF - cheapest it's ever been is a few pence under £175 but the cost of this unit seems to have gone up over time rather than down. I can only presume that is an exchange rate thing :disappointed:.

Ok maybe I shouldn't be holding out for 150.00 then in the New Year sales. But it looks like it was £150.00 though back on 29th November in camel camel camel?
purchased the 230 this week after reading and watching many reviews on the 230/235. I'm bloody happy with the watch and haven't found a fault or a issue yet.
Battery life is great, manged to get 5 days out of it before re charging it. Very accurate for when it comes to training. The apps and widget's are nice so at least you can make it look a big gucci if you want to.
If you purchase this watch you won't be disappointed at all. I'm not on my pc or I would of added a link to a Chao on YouTube who's maked some cracking videos, short but to the point on features the watch has and setting it up.

235 is touchscreen, 230 isn't. I got the 230 without HR strap for £167 at Amazon last year but then the price went up straight afterwards. Good watch, just thought touchscreen was a bit over the top for me.

The 235 is not touchscreen. Maybe you mean the 630?

I bought the 235 for my husband for Xmas. Paid £200 from Millets. Hope I made a good decision. Even though the straps are more accurate he is not of a fan of them so that was not the deciding factor. He runs a lot. Does Marathans so defiantly wanted something with a good GPS. So many on the market and I am a woman so my head was banging trying to decide. He had outgrowed his Fitbit hr so hopefully this is bigger and better.

Definitely a good choice - probably the best all in one device going for runners at the moment, all things considered. You can pair this with a chest strap too, if you want the increased accuracy, but it's nice to just be able to put on shorts and a t-shirt and head out without faffing around with straps and phones and headphones and pedometers and gps trackers!

Def not touch screen got it on now. Only difference between 230 & 235 is built in hrm on 235. Cheapest I've seen is 161.50 on millets 5 months ago when I got mine.

If this had barometric altimeter like Garmin 920XT it would be perfect. There is not a Garmin device that has all their features which is silly.
