Which Watch Buy?

I have both Vivoactive 6 and Balance 2 (XT). If you want simply track your GPS and HR and want a proper looking watch, Balance 2. If you want real recovery metrics and training plans, Vivoactive 6. Remember that it's a bit small device (only 42 mm) and looks quite cheap.

Garmin vívoactive 4S review

The Garmin Vivoactive 4 is a piece of Garmin's scope of touchscreen running watches, and sits in the arrangement as far as both cost and highlights.
