Aldi GPS Watch

Reviewed by Martin Childs

Aldi, £64.99

Awesomly bargainous.

What can I say, picked one of these fellas up today, its really great for only £65.

I'll get a more thorough reveiw once I had it a while but heres some initial notes.

Features which set it apart from anything in its up to more than double its price:

• Four different sport profiles, each one has a customisable screens.
• You have three screens each with three lines of info, all are totally configurable by profile!
• Battery life of 16hours in GPS recording mode & 1 year as a watch!
• Records altitude in data file;
• Has an included heart rate belt and records data in log;
• Charges really quickly (should have put a timer on it, about an hour).

If you want to read the manuals and check out the software, youcan download them from here.

What it can't do:

• It is only rain proof - can't be used for swimming.

Slight irritation:

• Data file contains your local time - not UTC, this confuses Strava and in British summer time will show you ride 1 hour later. Don't panic though, I have a fix here.

Verdict: snap one up now before they've gone!
