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.

    My Pace 2 doesn’t do Google calendar, or any calendar other than my training calendar. It can give notifications from the phone, but I don’t use that function.

    The training calendar can receive plans built out imported from training peaks, the coros app/website, and probably some others. I use it constantly.

    Two things about the 3 give me pause: 1) no ANT+; 2) It can store and play music but, I have read, only mp3s (no FLAC or ogg or streaming.)
