First up

Garmin Vivoactive 3 Around $500 NZ, shipped to NZ for $300 via amazon US

https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-v%C3%ADvoactive-GPS-Smartwatch-Stainless/dp/B074KBWL9J/ref=pd_ybh_a_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=R0BD3N5K9XPKPFYSZXD1

Next up

Withings Steel HR Sports in black and white

Normally $330 NZ from jbhif

Amazon UK has them for 101 pounds, however when they remove vat it goes down to 85 (works out to 190 or so NZ shipped).

Just purchased 2 of these for presents at $360NZ for both :)

I have 1 myself and find it good if you need a long lasting watch (2 - 4 weeks battery life)

Not bad a price for the vivoactive 3. I got mine (3 music) from dick smith for just under $400 last year.

Does the withings support strava?

Update: I see the withings only has connected gps. That's a deal breaker for me. :-(

The withings is more of a "watch" that can track heart rate, sleep and working out (more gym based) It does not have GPS on board. It is good for people that want to track swimming, cardio, weights (gym) and get notifications on their watch (not replying).

I have a FitBit Ionic which does not show the map to share when I walk about with it. I use android and it looks like it's a known issue.

I also have a FitBit scale which does not measure my Body Fat - just shows BF?

Thinking of getting the Garmin for the better or worse, will do some research and order this.
