    Garmin Instinct all the way. 2-3 weeks between charges is awesome. I had an Amazfit T-Rex Pro watch before but I found step count was way off because the watch would count steps when I was moving my arm which is ridiculous.

    At a figure close to €100 it makes sense... at €150 honestly not much, considering that with around 40/50 max more you can buy the T-Rex 2, which in addition to being more complete and superior continues to have one of the best update support despite the fact that it will soon be two years after its release on the market.

    there are a lot of watches half the price of a garmin, loved my watch active 2 too but none of them are a well rounded package like the garmins, some are great in that area some in another but if you realy use a lot of features wnt excelent health statistics you have to get a garmin in my opinion. Samsung for example is much better in auto recognition activitys, amazfit has much better/organized option settings and even the apple watch has its perks but still they sadly arent on the same level than a fenix/epix
