We've used Garmin Fenix series watches for many years, and they are some of the best for multi-sport use (and relatively waterproof in unforgiving conditions). Mapping on your wrist helps prevent missed turns on the many tricky trails in Holy Cross Wilderness. The Garmin Connect app is easy to use.

The Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED has become my everyday watch for just about everything. It tracks my training seamlessly through TrainingPeaks, helps guide me through race courses with navigation and mapping, and even comes with me out on the golf course. The AMOLED screen is bright, easy to read in any condition, and makes the watch feel like a major upgrade without sacrificing battery life. What I love most is that it can handle whatever adventure I throw at it. Whether I'm training for an ultramarathon, running a 250-mile race, hiking, golfing, or just getting through a busy clinic day, it does it all without missing a beat. The navigation features have saved me countless times on unfamiliar trails, and the training metrics help me stay on track without overthinking things. If I could only own one watch, this would be it.
