What's the most durable fitness tracker to buy in 2025?

I have a Garmin that’s 3.5 years old still going strong, battery lasts multiple days. It was like $180 a “low end” watch from Garmin. I’d recommend buying something like the forerunner 165.

Found a better way to pace with Garmin watch

Wow I didn't realize that the Vivoactive 5 doesn't vibrate upon hitting the heart rate threshold! I almost bought that watch but it was slightly above my price range, so I bought the Forerunner 165 instead. Mine does vibrate but I think the vibration only happens after a sustained 60 seconds above t

Garmin airport staff said 40% of their sales are the Forerunner 165. Why is it so dominant?

Most people don’t need maps, triathlon modes, or super advanced analytics, they just wa
