Fitness Watch

Looking for recommendations on fitness watch. Im aware of the Garmin and those similar but looking for something of decent quality at less than several hundred dollars. Looking for something with a pretty big face to use as a swim watch just to keep time as well as for running and cycling. Strap free heart rate monitor would be a plus but not essential. Whatcha got?

Garmin and Suunto make excellent fitness watches.
I've had a vivosmart hr for a while and it's very nice.

Garmin 235 is a great watch and can be found for under $300 now I think

Going to be expensive to get swimming, and cycling in a running watch with optical HRM.

I'm looking for a new smartwatch/fitness tracker too. Been looking at either the Fitbit versa or amazfit stratos. Both under 200

I have a Garmin, not sure the exact one, but damn thing counts steps while I'm cutting grass. Not bad... except for the riding mower part.

Look for a refurb Garmin on Amazon if you want to save money
had mine for about 10 months and works great

Has anyone ever tried the InBody Bands? It does not have a huge face like OP desires but I believe they are coming out with a watch that might.

Suunto Spartan
i like the look of the suuntos but they're all expensive and half of them don't sync to phones. not knocking them, just haven't tried it yet.
and best bang for your buck on this on is the vivoactive hr without a doubt. not the prettiest but absolutely best value at everything you need for $150.

I love my forerunner 235. If all you want it to do for swimming is time then it can do that. The GPS and heart rate monitor get kinda weird in the water.

I mostly use my Apple Watch
If I need very accurate GPS data I use my older Garmin though. Much more accurate on distances and pace
