Hello all,

Right now I’m looking at getting myself a Smartwatch which can GPS track my runs but at best also my sleep cycle (as I post this at 3 in the morning) and some vitals. As Strava is American, I would also ask that there is an app available for easy consolidation of data.

Right now I am flirting with Polar (Finnish) which seem to offer both watches and the app. XCOAST (German) seems to be another option for the watch but I don’t know about their app.

Are there any other brands to consider? These were the only two available in my local tech store but am willing to shop online (on European website of course).

Thank you all in advance!

    Polar is legit, and another really good (and super expensive) Finnish brand is Suunto. But you might want to steer away from XCoast. The prices are too good to be true, my first impression was that they might rebrand Chinese watches. And looking into the android store for their app proves me right

      Yeah I felt XCOAST to be a bit too cheap to be truly European. Suunto is a super good recommendation, thank you!
