Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire Pro.

It does everything, well has loads of customisable faces is quick to locate gps and has a scratch resistant face. So far I can't fault it. Seems to find satellites a lot quicker than my wife's Fenix 5

do you use all of the features on the watch or are a lot of them just for if you try something different

[WannabeAthlete in reply to gbaldy]

There are so many features on the watch that even an Olympic Decathlete wouldn't be able to use them all.

Having said that if you're into triathlons or multi-sports, even golf then it's pretty useful.

The map routing feature is clever too.

If you want a simple cover most bases watch then I guess an Apple is the way to go.

Garmin watches are more athlete focused IMHO

Garmin Forerunner 235 for me all the way. It’s easy to use, even though I don’t use it to its full potential. It’s been superseded by the 245 now which I’m sure is good too.

I had the option to switching to the Garmin Vivoactive 3 a little while ago, but didn’t get on with it - it simply did too much! My daughter loves it however.

It all depends on what you’re looking for really.

Garmin forerunner 235 is a good watch but prone to breakage if you bestow violence upon it I have a Forerunner 45 en route to replace. To echo Wannabe's words, Garmin is a sports-orientated watch I also use their bike computers, the way this tech has developed over recent time is incredible the issue now is what do you do with all the data that these devices produce?
