Saved 500€ with the GT 6 Pro… but now I understand where it went
If you care about exercise and do sports, Garmin is the way to go. You can get Venu 3 or Vivoactive 5/6 or Forerunner 255/965 for not too much money. Or maybe the Instinct 3. For Huawei, it looks nice, and it's enough, but for nothing serious. I was a user of Huawei Watch GT3 and I was happy, until

Forerunner 165 or Vivoactive 5??
As someone who’s had both and just upgraded to the 165, go with the 165. Especially if you like to run. I got the music edition so I can control my music on runs with no phone. Vivoactive can do this too but once you start the run you can’t change the playlist, volume and other settings. Also the fo

Wearable devices for pacing
Garmin vivoactive 5, + a free pacing watchface from the garmin connect IQ store (called Pacing (watchface) by jenshansen. There's also another by Fitigued).

Garmin watch
The vivoactive 5 is the most commonly used watch for my Pacing Watch Face. Personally I don't think you can go wrong with one. The latest model is the vivoactive 6 so I am sure there are deals to be had out there for a cheap vivoactive 5 (personally I buy good used Garmin watches and they have alway

Should I wait for helio strap 2 or go with first gen?
I’m also very satisfied with my Garmin. But I’ve noticed that their prices keep climbing, and older watches lose support pretty quickly. The Vivoactive 6, for example, is almost identical to the Vivoactive 5 in terms of hardware but has better software. Instead of updating the Vivoactive 5 and provi

Choosing a smartwatch
I would say stay away from Huawei only because their app is less actionable. GO with your consideratoin for Garim Vivoactive 5. The Garmin connect platform itself makes it worth it! You can also run it by a small free took I have created with decision making easier yet reliable. Zero Regret Buy - Fi
