I had to pick between a new smartwatch or a fitness tracker last month.

My old Fitbit died and I wanted something to track my runs. I looked at the Garmin Venu 3 and the cheaper Coros Pace 2. I went with the Coros to save money, around $200. It tracks distance and heart rate fine, but the screen is hard to read in direct sun. Anyone have a good watch for running that doesn't have that glare problem?

Yeah, the glare struggle is real... I tried a cheaper watch last year and felt like I was doing sun salutations just to check my pace. Ended up with a Garmin Forerunner 55, and the screen is way better in bright light, no weird mirror effect. It's not fancy, but it just works for runs.

But what if that mirror effect is just free motivation, @the_robin?

My old Fitbit was impossible to read on my lunchtime runs. I finally upgraded and it's a total game changer.
