Hey, I’m looking for a watch mainly for running/workouts (I workout and run about three times a week each) and wanted to ask what watches you’d recommend for my use case.

I’m looking for a watch that has accurate built-in GPS, decent/accurate heart rate tracking and the ability to connect directly to Bluetooth earphones and play offline music from the watch itself (I’m okay manually uploading MP3 files)

the watch can cost up to around $250.

I’ve been looking at watches like the Amazfit Balance 2 XT, COROS Pace 4, Garmin Vivoactive 5, Garmin Forerunner 165 Music and Suunto Run. From what I’ve seen they’d probably all fit what I need, but I’m not sure if it’s worth spending more on some of them if something like the Balance 2 XT is already good enough for my use case.

What would you recommend?

I’ve seen watches like the COROS pace 4, Garmin vivoactive 5, forerunner 165 music and Suunto run, and I think they’d probably fit what I need, but I’m not sure if it’s really necessary to spend more on those if the Balance 2 XT is just as good for my use case.

Do you think the Balance 2 XT is a good choice for me, or would you recommend something else instead? (could be from amazfit or not)

Hey, just saw the amazfit balance 2 xt on sale in target us for 150 and just wanted to verify that you can connect bluetooth earphones to it and play music stored on it without needing the phone on runs
