Cancelled Whoop - Which Garmin watch to get?

Northernsoul

hi folks, i cancelled my WHOOP subscription and basically just need a watch that can offer some similar features. I mainly use for running, training ( 2025 Dublin Marathon) but would like as much of the Whoop functionality as possible, without breaking the bank. Thinking about a Garmin Fenix 7. Anyone think another model might be better? Thanks!

Don't know much about Garmin but the Coros Pace 3 will provide all the metrics and functionality you need for 250euro, longer battery life than similar priced garmins and light as a feather. The only thing is its a sports(running mainly) watch, just sports, no google pay or anything fancy. The coros app is fantastic

yeah its mostly running i need it for, mapping, heart rate etc, but the whoop had some other interesting/useful features on strain and recovery, sleep. Will check out the Coros Pace. Thanks

Any of the forerunner range from Garmin will fit your needs. Some have onboard Spotify so you can download music and heave your phone at home.
