thanks for the replys

as said, been looking around and the ironman fills all my requirements

its actuall been designed as a training-watch with the runner/trainer in-mind

especially with the large display and easy tap screen (so no need to look for buttons while running/training)

so thats what im going to go-with, the 150 tap-screen

as mentioned, a few going anywhere from £30-60, so will let others know what i think of it, when i actually get-one

again thanks for the advise

thanks for the reply

your right, im not that interested in a HRM, only if it covers all the above, but its not important

funny you mention the ironman as its the one that keeps comeing-up when ive been looking, as it seems to have all the things im looking for

i know this had been done a few times, but everyones needs are different

basically, im after a watch that has to have the following

a large display with indigo-lighting

stop watch feature up-till adleast 12 hours (with the same large display) this would be the main reason for the watch

water proof/resistant

dont mind used, but not looking on spending more than around £60

ive seen a few HRM watches with large displays, but im unsure if the stop-watch feature, is as big as the time display

i like the SUUTO core watches, but (from what ive seen) the stop-watch feature, is in a small sub-display, which is not what i want

greatfull for any advise

appologise for being slightly-off, (im not normally impatient)

as said done lots of training in my time without suffering any major problems

having talked to the doctor, they are under the impression ive got patellar bursitis

fluid/infection in/under the knee cap, she has referred me to a speciallist

(very quick, this friday) knowing getting back to training was a priority

so will have to wait to see if he is as understanding

looks like getting-back to this fitness level is going to be very long/frustrating

thanks for the above, seems sound advise, any further help from anybody who has treatment for this

kind of injury would be very welcome

not much point in a INJURY FORUM if nobodys goeing to help/advise?

would have though that keen runners would have wanted to help

or is it a case of im ok, so why bother
