Looking for the best triathlon/multisport watch for my situation (Garmin vs Coros?)

The 965 would be overkill for what you're describing, to say nothing of the 970. For the budget and use-case I'd recommend the forerunner 265, or even the 255 if you can find one new. Not familiar with the Coros watches, DC Rainmaker has a bunch of reviews.
