Garmin Forerunner 235 finally bit the dust - what should I get to replace?

My Forerunner 235 lasted ~8 years. Looking for some help on choosing the right watch for me.

  • Only wear it to run (not my main smart watch)
  • I bike occasinally, but running is really the only workout i'd use it for
  • I'm less worried about switching brands because of the actual watch, but more so because of the mobile app features (I'm just very used to Garmin - splits, shoe tracking, etc.)
  • the 3 that I have it narrowed down to likely have more bells and whistles than I need, but I know for a fact I do not need more than what they have.

I've got it narrowed down to:

  • Garmin Forerunner 265
  • Garmin Forerunner 570
  • Coros Pace Pro (on sale on The Feed right now, so why not)

I'd love to hear what you loved/hated about these watches and would LOVE any information you have on the Coros app, especially if you used teh Garmin app previously.

Thanks in advance!
