    Yup. Prior to this, I never would have even considered the competition. I’ve still got a year or more of life left on my Forerunner 935, I think, but once it eventually dies, if Garmin is still doing this subscription thing, it’ll be the first time I take a serious look at Polar, Wahoo, and Coros.

      What’s your opinion on Suunto running watches? They’re on my radar as a Garmin replacement also because they’re from Europe, but from the (very cursory) research I’ve done, they might be more difficult to use without having a Windows system.

        Truth is, I don’t have an opinion yet. I’ve never looked seriously at the competition because Garmin has always been so good I haven’t needed to.

        They seem to be in the mix along with some budget competitors like Amazfit. Coros is likely what I’d look at hard. I know a few people using them.
