I don't care about being an early adopter - they'll update the bugs as they come up, I just love having new gizmos!
Birthday sunday so hope to order it monday - if they have the stock!
ME WAAAAAANT! (very grownup I know) Have you seen the competition on here to win one... that is only a week long.... So I guess we should enter that and see on the 11th if you've won it... then decide
but if i say that then Sweatshop might have no early sales and panic ;0
Sweatshop are now sellling the 620 and 220...
220 with HRM just bought
I'm a sucker for a new gadget! 620 order just placed!
WAAAAAH
Go on booktrunk, you know you want to !!
For those thinking about the 620 purely because it has WIFI, there's an Apple app developed ( but not released yet ) which will allow you to upload your runs and Firmware updates via Bluetooth ( must be apple iphone ), thus no need for WIFI and that alone made the decision easier for me...
Pete - I can't wait to get my hands on it, I bet you're the same
Now to talk the missus into letting me buy it early...
ordered. Click and collect.
Only got my 610 in April and I love it to bits, but 620 is soooo tempting.....
annie: Mine is 18 months old this month.... verrrrrry tempted
don't suppose anyone has ny codes to save any pennies 360 eeeek
BT - Reckon 18 mths is really OLD by today's techie standards, so you can def justify an upgrade, but 360 is a bit steep - maybe you'll be lucky and win the RW comp!
Sadly the sweatshop codes tend to exclude GPS watches so it will be very unlikely to find one I'm afraid
Hmmm, although the Marathon Talk discount code is suppose to exclude timepieces when I entered the code (I didn't complete the order) it seemed to accept it and took 10% off. Might be worth trying.
Errr umm err what is the marathon talk discunt code? Pretty please
ahh found it
That's interesting CCvLB,
I tried the code - MTALK - but it said not valid, maybe I'm trying the wrong one...
Booktrunk, can you let me know if that works for you, if so I'll cancel and re-order..
Thanks
HighlandPlodder
Opps good point, but as you found out it's not difficult to find.
edit:xpost okay maybe not then, I'll have another look....
Well that's what I get with either the 620 or the 220 in my basket, and click and collect..... but as I said I didn't complete the order. Lets see if anyone has any success.
Thanks CCvLB,
Must be something wrong when I'm trying it, tried a few times now while in the basket...
I'll try again later...
Thanks very much.
brilliant, thanks for the MTALK code. worked a treat for me.
Email received to confirm my order for £323.99. Just a shame they didn't offer any speedy delivery service.
Ordered mine. Hopefully it will turn up sharpish as my FR305 died on my after falling off my window ledge about 2 weeks ago and ive been desperately resisting the urge to buy a 610 straight away knowing the 620 was right round the corner.
Been an expensive day all in, this plus a £400 set of bars for my TT bike and now just to work out a way from keeping it from the missus! haha
Good luck
Ordered my 220 last night. Had to wait til the missus was asleep to get away with it ha ha!
Wish I checked the thread first to get the promo code, but never mind, I was too excited to get it ordered. My first GPS watch!
Of course now we can expect a deluge of emails "Sorry its out of stock and you need to wait for a new delivery..."
My order says exported.... I presume from the web ordering system to their proper system
I emailed and they confirmed yes the order is fine, and it should be despatching within a couple of days.... Fingers crossed, *cough* with the code....
Mattywarr: Congrats, don't do what I did when i got my first watch spent to much time looking at the stats on the watch and fell over!! *blush*
haha need to get rid of my 610 now or save it and do both for an ultra
Somene had an interesting idea.... Get your garmin and get a footpod and make sure the footpod is synced and accurate, then turn off GPS and just use the footpod to measure distance. Not as accurate and no pretty track, but you get a heck of a lot more time out of the watch, so could use that as a backup method for an ultra of having some sort of plot.
I'll try not to, but can make no promises
Mine also says exported. I'm going to be watching that page closely until it says the magical word "Dispatched"!
*twiddles thumbs and checks again*
Ordered the 620 with HRM (Don't tell the wife....) Using subscriber's code got a a £54 discount, can't complain. Looking forward to trying this out. Come one Mr Postman.....
15% off for subscribers through Runners World store - 220 ordered
My order is dispatched
2 x 220's on the way and I should have them tomorrow... 1 ordered at full price and the other with 10% off so the full price one is getting sent back..
BT - My order is sitting at " exported " but it's confirmed by phone that's it's dispatched, fingers crossed your order is on it's way... I can also confirm they are allowing the discount, which you'll be glad to hear
Matty - It may be worth calling them as they offered me the mtalk discount on the original full price order if I wanted to keep it..... Worth a shot !!
Can't wait for the new toy to arrive - My first GPS watch but adding to all my gadgets..
