This topic is interesting me, as I recently cracked the screen on my Fitbit Charge 2, and need a replacement. I found long ago the HR reading when exercising was off by a bit. More as I got sweatier. My previous band, Samsung Gear Fit 2 wasn't much better.
For rides, I use a Wahoo TickrX (previous model), paired usually to my phone. But lately I've been using it paired with a XOSS G+.
As much as I would love a Fenix 6, I will never use all the features. I can't run, same with the Forerunner series.
I'm leaning towards Garmin Vivoactive 3, as I know several people that have them, and l ike them a lot. Or the Garmin Instinct. Both are more affordable and meet my needs. I'm also considering the Venu SQ. As well as Samsung Galaxy Active watch, though less and less.
I was looking at a Fitbit Versa 3 or Charge 4. But both are getting lower on my list.
