Cheap gear that replaces expensive outdoor gear
Amazfit Active Max watch - great GPS, offline topo maps and 2 weeks on one charge for about $120 right now after all discounts. Garmin fenix is ~$700. Edit: and weighs less than my old analog Altimeter Casio. Edit 2: also trying Amazfit Active 3 premium now. It is smaller and I don't like shiny meta

Best watch to pair with Helio Strap
I think all Amazfit watches will suit your needs, especially with a Helio Strap as your base. You already have solid heart rate monitoring anyway, so you mainly just need a screen. It really comes down to what other specific requirements you have. If you don't want to spend much: Get a Bip 6. The

Amazfit Active 3 Premium smartwatch is official
Okay, Finally, I'll give a proper take on this. Design wise, I am more on the positive. I do like it. A lot better than the boring and uninspiring Active Max.

If you don't have to care for budget, will you still choose Amazfit?
Most expensive Amazfit is $400. Most expensive Amazfit is $550 and it is 100% functional equivalent of the Active Max. Or at least Balance 2. And if you ditch useless dual channel GPS and large screen which Amazfit software can't utilise it is equivalent of Active 3 Premium. So, you see, Amazfit is
