@RLLongIII said in mediocre reviews and watch faces:
REI sells both watches. Reviews for both show the Garmin watches with ratings of 4.5+ but the SV only shows 3.3. Given all the raving about the SV on other forums, can anyone explain the low reviews?
IMO those are two different “universes”. You maybe won’t be too happy with Suunto, if watchface customisation or mainly smartphone features are of main importance for you. Suunto offers a “purer” experience, which makes you decide your way of training, supporting you with helpful metric like TSB etc. Garmin has more features but the whole ecosystem (starting with the pure numbers of different models ) is much more confusing and I didn’t find it too helpful.
