I have been using the Mi Band for years which I generally like, although it's quite a simple device

Apple Watch.

I had a couple of Garmins before and the difference is night and day. The Apple Watch isn't perfect, but it's clear that a lot of thought went into it.

The Garmins on the other hand, were lowest of low effort.

They blatantly didn't talk to even a single cyclists while building their cycling app.

Cyclists use average speed, not pace. Even the junkiest $3 cycle computer from Ali Baba gets this right, but not Garmin. They just copy-pasted the running screen.

Pretty sure my Garmin does pace for cycling. You bed to get a multisport watch from them first. The Forerunner watches are going to be focused on running obviously. Fenix line should do average speed

That's not the Vivoactive cycling app.
