For athletes and outdoor adventurers, the Fenix 5S Plus multisport GPS watch is the rugged, high-performance timepiece that meets big challenges and fits smaller wrists. Beat yesterday with premium features that range from routable TOPO maps and storage for up to 500 songs to estimated heart rate at the wrist and Garmin Pay, the contactless payment solution (available for supported cards from participating banks).Built-in navigation sensors include three-axis compass, gyroscope and barometric altimeter as well as multiple satellite system (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) network capability to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone

The Apple Watch activity feature is like

 I think the default should be No. I'd choose a pencil and scorecard, or the Golf Genius app, neither of which would drain precious watch battery life, long before I'd volunteer to push the little buttons on my watch to keep score.

 I compared the watch's heart rate monitor to a true (chest strap) heart rate monitor. When no wrist motion is involved, for example, if I am pedaling an exercise bike, the watch's heart rate monitor is almost dead on. If motion is involved, say when rowing, or swinging my arms walking on a treadmill, the heart rate monitor drifts off significantly (20%?), usually reading low, rendering the readout useless. Caveat: I do not know of a top-of-the-wrist based heart monitor that is accurate under all circumstances

Serious Flaw in the Golf App

Hi guys! I'm a pretty engaged runner (run 5 times a week) and I got a fitbit versa 2 as a present from my SO not long ago. I was thinking about upgrading to a Garmin forerunner watch (probably 245) due to GPS and added functionality and metrics (pace, ground contact time, recommended workouts, etc). I've also realized a lot of my fitbit's features are behind a pay wall. 
Has anyone else went for it and is it worth it?

Upgrading from Fitbit to Garmin

 However, the supports that attach the watch band to the watch are so long that they effectively make the watch as wide as most other sport watches. Actually, my husband's Forerunner 945, a much larger faced watch, fits my wrist much better, so the supports are much smaller and curved so they wrap around the wrist. In the picture, the Fenix 5S is the white watch and the Forerunner is the black watch - both protrude about the same distance, but the Forerunner fits much closer without the gaps of the Fenix.

Smaller watch face doesn't necessarily mean it fits smaller wrists

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

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

Beautiful watch and works great.

 I bought the smaller form factor watch, which is still enormous on my wrist but whatever and only get 5 days max and that doesn’t include using the GPS for runs / bike workouts. The battery barely lasted for a 4.5 hour marathon. Then the temperature and altimeter sensors failed

The watch was a splurge. While there are a ton a great features, I found the battery life to be less than published since Garmin will claim 14 days of battery life for the Fenix 5 plus series but when you read the fine print, that is for the biggest, most expensive version of their Fenix 5 plus line up. I bought the smaller form factor watch, which is still enormous on my wrist but whatever and only get 5 days max and that doesn’t include using the GPS for runs / bike workouts. The battery barely lasted for a 4

Not worth the money for features, disappointing battery and reliability

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?

 The battery life has been phenomenal on my unit- I’ve been using it for 3 days and still have 75%. The cons of this are only related to the iPhone app. It’s missing some key information on the landing page of the app, like battery percentage. In addition, you still have to plug the watch into a PC to update software before you can really even start to customize

For those looking at the photo, I have pretty big wrists and you can see the watch is still quite large.  I really love the aesthetic of the tracker! The features are great and the activity tracker thus far is pretty accurate. The battery life has been phenomenal on my unit- I’ve been using it for 3 days and still have 75%.
