Some advice please on Garmin etc 🙏

I am thinking of buying a Garmin watch to help me in my running but am not sure what is best as I don’t want to waste my money - A Garmin watch or an Apple Watch or a Fit Bit watch it something else completely 🤷‍♀️ I have been googling but still confused. I am not very tech minded and don’t really want a massive lump of a thing on my arm either. Any advice would be appreciated

I got the Fitbit versa 2.

It uses your phone for GPS and displays lots of stats eg. Heart rate, pace, distance.

I chose this one because the price was reasonable and you can get calls and texts on it which I find useful when horse riding.

I'm not used to wearing anything on my wrist but I don't find it too bulky

I had a fitbit charge 2 which was perfect until i dropped my phone mid run, that decided me to buy a garmin vivoactive 4s which is smaller than the 4 and stores up to 500 songs so i can run with music without my phone, it has its own gps too so tracks my runs well

Whatever you choose hope you enjoy it
