Watch for Cyclist

For that budget, I'd say go for Garmin. Took a quick look at Shopee; Forerunner 55, 165, and Vivoactive 5 fits your budget. Amazfit watches also fits well with your budget.

Anyone switch over from Garmin?

​I recently switched from a Vivoactive 5 to the Helio Strap paired with an Active 3 Premium, and I’m really enjoying the change. ​What stands out to me since switching is that Amazfit offers many more features for a lower price. For example, the Active 3 Premium is significantly cheaper than somethi

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

How many of you are using fitness trackers?

I use a Garmin Vivoactive 5. The heart rate it records sometimes lags behind my actual heart rate (or at least as displayed on the ascent trainer I use). Buuuuut, I'm not looking for ultra-precise tracking, so as long as it gets a good ballfield I won't gripe too loud.

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
