Is there a garmin or other smart watch that anyone can recommend that does the trick for cycling? I mostly just want something to track rides without caning my phone battery. Occasional squizz at a map to ensure I’m heading the right way. Don’t really care about fitness data or power metrics or anything like that. I do a lot of walking as well, so feel like forking out for a dedicated cycling computer will leave me with a hole for that, and I’d rather get something that can cover both.
I have a Fenix (5x) which I use for all that. Has on device mapping so you don't need your phone. Although mapping on a phone is a lot easier as the screen is bigger.
What do you want for walking? The Fenix would be the best for navigation, but it has a lot of features you won't get the most out of if you don't wear it regularly.
