Looking to possibly replace my 910xt and Vivoactive HR combo. As we all know the VAHR does not do open water. Last race my 910 was worthless the whole day and recorded nothing. Especially not open water. I tested it again on land and it seemed fine but haven’t had a chance to try open water again.
Recommendations? I’d like something with a little more battery life. I want to keep the HR on the wrist because I’m stupid and often forget my HR strap even though I prefer it. I like the smart watch notifications of the VAHR and use it as an activity tracker as well.
Contenders so far...
Fenix 3 HR
Fenix 5/935
Suunto Spartan
735xt
Leading contender is likely Fenix 3HR since it’s cheaper than the other Garmins on referb. However the Spartan looks intriguing.
I still lapped everyone on the couch!
