Cons
The Ignite does not have a multisport function. When running a triathlon, the watch does not automatically switch from one discipline to another. |
Unlike the Vantage V, the Vantage M does not have the functions Recovery Pro and Running Power. |
An optical heart rate monitor is slightly less accurate in general when used during intensive interval training compared to an heart rate belt. |
If you have a small wrist circumference, the Forerunner 45 may be too big. In that case, go for the Forerunner 45S. |
The Garmin Vivoactive 3 Music lets you store up to 500 songs on your smartwatch for offline use. This is not possible with the standard Vivoactive 3. |
