um 13 May 11:17am, 13 May 2025 9,573 posts	Quote Pin um What do I use/want from a 'running' watch? - tell the time - track runs, time, distance, pace, elevation, wrist HR - track walks - track bike rides - ability to choose different displays for run, walk and bike - 3 or 4 fields per display, multiple screens for different data displays - ability to transfer GPX/TCX type file to Fetch, whether Garmin Connect or other means. Preferably via laptop (eg USB) than auto via phone/bluetooth (so I can set Rundle location pre load) - 12 hours active battery life - compeletely sweat/water proof - compass, nice to have - return to start, nice to have - probably would never use music, payment or other 'smart watch' features

Maps, compass, gear tracking, free watch faces (loads to choose from), timers, metronome, find my phone etc, etc, etc. I've been using this as my go to for the last year. Love it. Mrs J's got one, too. But to be fair, all the Coros models have the above features as standard. Super long battery life. And NO PAYWALLS in sight and no plans to have them and that's directly from the CEO.
