Insert witty title here
As above, bought it, lost receipt, then accidentally bought a Fenix 3HR. To be clear, it's never been out of the box, and retails for £280, I'm asking £220 plus postage.

I'm almost tempted to keep it as a back up, or lighter alternative to the Fenix, I've had a Forerunner 235 for a few months, and it's a fantastic piece of kit. In fact, I've been using it instead of a cycle computer, since it's better than my Bryton. Ideally for use as a cycle computer you'd mount it on handlebars, so lose use of the optical HR sensor, and use a chest band instead, but this will then give you all sorts of extra info such as vo2 max etc.

If you don't know, the Forerunner 235 is a multi sports watch, primarily for cycling and running. Full gps and glonass, optical heart rate sensor, plus smart phone notifications. I've found the HR to be very accurate (after an initial run in period), and very useful. Having 24/7 hr data may sound pointless, but when you see an increase in your resting heart rate, it usually indicates that notching the training down a little would be a great idea, since you may be coming down with something.

It's black and red, latest version.
 
I'm confused as to why you bought a Forerunner 235 if you already had one. Maybe I'm being dim; it wouldn't be without precedent.
