what sport do you usually do? This will cause your choice to vary.

Garmin are the "apple" of sport ecosystem . If you are locked in the ecosystem, very hard to change .

why not consider coros as well?

hard to advice if you don't say what your specific main sports .

For me I'm into triathlons and trail running (breadcrumbs navigation) so the forerunner 9++ series suits me well.

yeah. been wanting to change my FR955. but literally no reason to do so . been 5 years plus, the watch is functioning like day 1 . not even the battery degrades. still once a week charge with almost daily activity and every night sleep tracking .

would love for a garmin descent G2, but damn son the price

whichever within your budget then . both can do your expected usage
