I've been pondering the idea of getting a watch for a while. My partner @speculoos has a Garmin forerunner and I use that for pacing etc. and it works great.
To compliment that I would love a watch that has a few more functions for trail running, mountaineering, ski touring and navigating. I'd love a watch with a barometer and altimeter, as well as an ability to load .gpx tracks onto it.
I appreciate that this might not be something that people on this thread are always looking for, but I'm struggling to figure out the market so if anyone has any knowledge I would be much obliged.
I’ve got a fenix 6x pro which does all that and more (garmin pay for an emergency bottle of coke, music for complete phonelessness are two of the highlights for me) and it is excellent if a little pricey
Kind of willing my Fenix 5 to stop being so durable so I can justify a 6 but have a feeling that it'll be Fenix 9 before this thing gives out. Have had my 5 since release and I still easily get it to record 12 hour+ activities with room to spare. Battery life is superb.
Whilst we're talking watches.......

This seems to be very good for the price https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/camping-and-hiking/gps-watch/suunto-ambit-3-peak and I can't make heads or tails of why there are some that cost triple this....
