General thread about running with smartwatches.

Why do you run with (or without) a smartwatch? Which model do you have? What functionalities do you use often or are there any that you think are redundant? Did yours ever broke down? Are the sensors accurate?

Currently I do not have any but plan to buy one, budget max 200eu. Both the garmin forerunner 245 or 55 seem like solid choices but I am open to suggestions.

    Garmin Forerunner 965. I track heart rate, pace, distance, time, etc. The map and offline Spotify features have been useful abroad. It’s nice being able to check notifications on my watch without pulling my phone out. I’m always impressed when I wake up feeling like shit and the watch tells me I had a crap night’s sleep.
