Last year I got my first smartwatch, the Huawei GT2e and I do love it, but it's missing a few features I'd like.
Can anyone recommend a watch that has the following:
Thanks
Can anyone recommend a watch that has the following:
- automatically calculates total calories burnt throughout the day
- automatically tracks things like walks, runs or cycling and syncs to Strava
- connects to a Polar H7 heart rate monitor for more accurate measurement
- round face
- not too big and chunky - should look as much like a traditional watch as possible
- good battery life - the GT2e is almost 2 weeks
- GPS
- sleep tracking, V02 Max, phone notifications, find my phone, silent alarm etc I'm presuming are pretty standard
- Health/fitness features are my priority over other general features
Thanks

I’ve the Garmin Fenix 6 which does these, and I’m very happy with it.
The 7 has just come out, so there may be some bargains on the 6 at the moment.1 -
I, too, recommend the Garmin range. Both my wife and I are on our second and find them reliable, functional, desirable and easy to use. Certainly preferred compared to the Fitbit we had first.
I currently have the Vivoactive 3. It definitely does most of what you asked for. It probably does it all, but there are a couple of items mentioned (Strava and Polar H7) that I have never tried or looked to do. They would need to be checked on the specification.0 -
I've had the Garmin vivoactive 3 for 3 years and very happy with it, it does do everything you ask for but I don't feel it does this feature that well

I have the Fenix 6X Pro. Brilliant watch. I have had the forerunner before this which also may suit.Stay away from Fitbit. Dreadful watches in my opinion.0
