Watch Help
Hey everyone,
I’m new to sports watches and would love to hear some experiences/advice to make sure I pick the right one.
My main activities include running, Road and gravel biking, Ski touring and backcountry hiking. I really want a watch that can take the guesswork out of my training, ideally using my day-to-day metrics (like sleep and recovery) to build training plans for me to follow day to day, while also changing if I have a race or something else coming up.
I'm looking at a few options atm:
- Suunto 9 Peak Pro: Brand new on sale for $238.
- Suunto Vertical: Brand new on sale for $468.
- Garmin Fenix 6: Used for around $400
Since this is my first-ever watch, is it worth buying a used, beat-up Garmin just to get the automated training features, or should I grab one of these heavily discounted Suuntos and figure out the training side manually (or via third-party apps)? Would love to hear your experiences!
