I invested in the vivoactive 3 music about a month ago, it was down to 150 in argos but has gone back up in price since then. That said Amazon prime day must be soon?
It's a good mix of lifestyle and running watch. It's not as slick looking as a galaxy or apple watch but it looks quite subtle on the wrist, but it still has all the features you would expect from a Garmin running watch.
The music has to loaded on via a cable on the laptop, but you can wirelessly download podcasts.
