The Garmin Forerunner 970 is the best sports watch available, in my opinion, but it doesn’t come cheap and the Suunto Race 2 is a notable competitor that offers many of the same key features as the Forerunner 970 at a lower price.
I’ve run hundreds of miles with both watches in testing, and put them directly head-to-head by wearing both at the same time for 10 days.
