BBC Sport speaks to two runners with opposing views on the fact there will be no single-use cups or bottles at this weekend's Paris Marathon.

Hi, i'm looking at a replacement for my garmin forerunner 305.

Something that fits running and swimming, preferablu not from usa, has good privacy, and .... Can be read without my reading glasses.

Most can be found in comparisons, but not readability without reading glasses.

But I can't be the only one ;) Any recomendations?

update:

Other than gadgetbridge, there seems to be as good as no way of avoiding the manufacturers software/servers. After reading a bit, polar is (for me) the way to go. Privacy policy look quite good and next to nothing requires 3rd party connections.

Now indeed, many seem to be phasing out MIP in favor of amoled because -in my opinion- the brighter colors so -again in my opinion- form over function. I landed on the polar pacer pro and just ordered myself one. (Currently everywhere on sale)
