The Apple Watch activity feature is like

 He has not set up the app on it yet as he is trying to mess with the watch to get an idea how it works. He was trying to set up a weather app/step tracking app, but it's so confusing that he gives up and doesn't even wear the watch. We have watched your tube, gone into geek squad, no help. The only thing to do is call Garmin which sucks because this watch should not be that difficult to add and work apps on

So so

Coros Pace 2 is a great watch that you should consider if possible.

<div class="md"><p>Coros Pace 2 is a great watch that you should consider if possible.</p>
</div>

You haven't mentioned a budget. Triathlon watches I would buy in ascending price order (even the cheapest does everything you mentioned and more):

1. Coros Pace 2 - comfortably the best value triathlon watch on the market, also the lightest and with incredible battery life. Newer manufacturer, and lacking the refinement of the established brands.
2. Garmin Forerunner 935. This is an older watch but still available to buy new. It lacks some of the more up-to-date functions like contactless payment, but it was top of the range when it was released.
2. Garmin Forerunner 745. A very recent watch with most of the bells and whistles.
3. Garmin Forerunner 945 or Fenix 6. I have lumped these premium watches together. They are the same watch under the hood. The 945 is lighter, the Fenix 6 has a more premium casing, so it depends on your priorities.

Prices go from £175 to about £500 (I'm in the UK).

I just got my Coros Pace 2 and I love it. I switched from an Apple watch after it just started failing. For the price, I don't think there is a better watch.

Forerunner 945 or forerunner 745 if you want to save a bit. 

Also, if you’re in the US, check through your insurance to see if they have a discount through Garmin.

If you have a high budget: Garnin Forerunner 945 or a Fenix.

945 is a great (multi-)sports watch. Light and comfortable during sports, but looks basic and like a sportswatch.

The fenix has many features that are the same for triatlon but is looks and feels more like a normal watch and is slightly bulkier.

My girlfriend has a Forerunner 245 and although it's way cheaper it still has most of the important features. So that is definitely a affordable alternative.

I have the Suunto 9 which is a pretty good alternative to Garmin in my opinion. The battery lasts forever, it's waterproof, it has a triathlon exercise type, and it syncs easily with Strava which I think were all your requirements

Sorry for high jacking this post (as I’m in a similar position to OP), but I wondered are Garmin’s cheaper in the US vs UK and are they fully compatible?
I’m UK based but heading to the US for Xmas and will hold out and buy one stateside if both compatible and significantly cheaper. 
Thanks!

Garmin Forerunner 745, cheaper than the 945 has all the same features minus golf tracking and topographical maps. Solid watch for training, everyday use, races etc.

Hi all!  I'm looking into getting my husband a new smart watch for Christmas and was looking for some recommendations.  He did a 70.3 last year and I think is hoping to do another one some time so I'd like something that's good for all 3 events but also a good "wear all day" watch.  He has an Android phone so I can't get him an Apple Watch.  He currently uses the Fitbit Versa for everyday use and doesn't have a running/GPS watch.  He just uses his phone to track runs and bikes.  I'd prefer something that doesn't require a data plan because he'll still take his phone with him on workouts but I want him to have the convenience of tracking workouts on his wrist (so a watch that has either Map My Run or Strava app).  I also want one that's water proof for swimming.  Thanks in advance!

Smart Watch

  Even the resting HR changes so much that it can hardly be true. Expected better from Garmin

While i love how most of the features of the watch, i was very disappointed with the HR measurement. I moved to Fenix 5 from Fitibit because Fitbit does not integrate well with Powermeters, cadence or any other external measurement. While i understand the challenge with wrist based measurments compared to chest strap i expected Garmin to be close to the performance of the Fitbit watches. I have now compared my Fenix5 plus HR with both Fitbit and HR strap (Wahoo TickrX) and it has been way off all the time while Fitibit was alsways in reasonable rage of TICKRX

After a number of years with my OG Vivoactive3 I finally decided to upgrade.

She was trusty and has been through a lot with me but felt like I wanted some more features and something a bit more burly. So upgraded to the Fenix 5 Plus, kind of wishing I had done the 5x Plus with PulseOx but not a huge deal. 

Watch face has been updated to match old with the Fusion face. Now to test out the features like Trailforks for riding!

Decided to upgrade.

 I've only had the watch about a month and still playing with the stats, but the mapping and workout statistics are very comprehensive for walking, running and biking - the only workouts I've used with the Fenix 5 plus. GPS satellite acquisition is super fast, but the Bluetooth signal is very weak - the Fenix 5 plus pairs nicely and easily with a set of wireless earbuds, but the antenna is in the right bud, and I wear the watch on my left wrist, so terrible reception - I have to wear the right bud in my left ear to be closer to the watch - not a problem, but I would have thought the signal would be at least able to reach the other side of my body. Nice selection of watch faces and widgets through the ConnectIQ store, however the weather apps I've tried so far really do not impress. If there is a way for the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus to read weather from my iPhone, I believe the issue would be fixed

 I've worn an Apple Watch since the 1st edition, and am now wearing the Fenix 5 Plus every day. I would guess the biggest drawback for most is the price, at almost $400 during Prime Days - don't know if I would have purchased if it wasn't on sale - I wanted the 5X Plus or 6X, but couldn't justify the expense as a newcomer to the fitness training world. I have until January to return, but I believe I will stay with it.

In my opinion, this Fenix 5 Plus offers more features that the average fitness aficionado would ever need, and with all those features comes a fairly steep learning curve, especially for one just entering the fitness tracking world. I really like that my particular watch holds over 700 songs, even though the manual says it will hold 500 - I originally had 800 songs to import and pared the list down to about 700, so who knows, maybe it would have held 800. The Garmin Pay feature in theory is great, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet - everywhere I've been so far while wearing it hasn't accepted touchless payment. The amount of stats available after a workout is staggering

Still evaluating but mostly good

I've been thinking about getting a Fitbit for a while now but after doing a lot of research, it looks like there are a ton of complaints (including a lot in this sub) about how a bunch of the models, especially the Versa 3, don't last more than a year and Fitbit refuses to help you out if your warranty is done. I really don't want to spend over $150 on something that'll just crap out and be replaced in less than two years. Is it too much of a gamble to get a Fitbit?

Are Fitbits even worth it anymore?

 Where this sort of "matters" is that I like to get my email/text notifications on my watch... which can't happen unless I'm connected

  Be forewarned though... the "gesture" feature (getting the dark watch face to illuminate when you move your arm upwards so that you can see the watch face) is VERY poor

Nice looking watch and Garmin support stepped up to the plate
