How did it cope?

It actually coped pretty well. I put it on GPS power saver mode to make sure it got through the day, here's the result:

IMO its the best overall tracker on the market at the moment. Check out a YouTube channel by Techy Agent - he does pretty good reviews of just about all of them.

Looking to get the Garmin Vivosmart, anyone have one and with a bit of feedback?

I have one, not sure I'd recommend it. It's very good but had the screen start to fail on me after about 9 months and then the whole thing died about a month later. Got it replaced under the 12 month warranty but now the replacement is starting to get dead pixels as well as getting a bit twitchy with syncing and charging. I really like the thing but if they only last 9 months or so it's hard to recommend them when they cost around £90-100.

from what I've read it's a bit of a common problem as well. cant speak for the other trackers but maybe look for a more reliable long term one?

Running the Cardiff Half Marathon tomorrow so curious to see how the Band 2 deals with both the forecasted appalling weather conditions as well as many other GPS devices in close proximity.

Why would the number of other GPS devices be an issue??

Really liking the look of the Garmin vivoactive HR GPS Smart Watch that's just been released. Wish it was £50 cheaper though

Does anyone else have a Mi Band 1S? For some reason mine's stopped syncing with Google Fit. It's done it on other phones, despite being linked. I've tried removing and adding, no joy. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this?

Yep that's the one. However in the meantime I've picked up a Samsung Gear Fit 2 which I am very happy with.
