Forerunner 970

As someone who's owned a Fenix 3, 5, 6, 7, Tactix 7, Forerunner 735XT, 955, and now has spent time with both the Forerunner 970 and Tactix 8 AMOLED (which I ended up keeping because I've worn a 51mm Garmin for years), I think Reddit tends to overstate the downsides of AMOLED.

After a week of overthinking on a thought of becoming a reddit reviewer I finally decided to pull the plug and will be posting many reviews of different tech products and shoes i use for my running starting with the one closest to me- COROS PACE PRO or in general, Coros brand.

Love my new Forerunner 970 🤝

But for me, my watch is becoming more of a lifestyle watch / heart rate monitoring tool. I would like to have closer analysis of any heart irregular

Depends what watch you’re using, and how accurate its GPS is. They all vary by brand and model. Apple, Garmin, Coros,Suunto, etc. I believe Garmin forerunner 970 is one of the most accurate GPS wise.

Very good answer. OP - for first time runner (and also a veteran one) basic watches will get the job done. For Garmin their running range is called Forerunner - as you go in price you get music, breadcrumb trail, then full maps , a flashlight and titanium bezel with sapphire glass on the top 970 mod
