The mapping features work great and are easy to use
You'll never have to worry about getting lost with a Spark 3 on your wrist. First of all, you can create a new interesting route in the app from the comfort of your home and then simply follow it with your watch during the run. Or you can record your whole route as you run or hike and then trace back your steps in case you get lost.

It's a good fit for amateur/casual athletes
This watch keeps track of your pace, calories, and heartbeat without overwhelming you with highly specialized fitness metrics that usually don't add any value for a beginner anyway.

This is one of the best fitness trackers for triathletes
Among many other types of sports, the Forerunner 935 lets you track running, biking, and swimming. Better yet, you can combine the whole triathlon training session under a single workout - you don't even have to press a button to get accurate data from each activity.

Con
It's expensive
Although this watch has many advantages over the competition, it still remains very expensive. You can get a very good sports watch for about half the price of Forerunner 935, or even less.

It doubles as a great general-use fitness tracker
Not only is this watch useful for running, you can leave it on for the whole day and it will monitor your sleep, give recommendations on training intensity as well as recovery, and keep your heart rate in check. With GPS off, it can work for 20 days, so you'll only have to take it off twice a month or so to recharge.

The price is very competitve
This watch offers great value for the money - usually, you have to be ready to pay $300 and more for a decent sports watch, but M430 does the same job and costs around $200.

Con
The software is somewhat limited
You are basically stuck with only three watch faces, which limits your ability to customize the watch for your particular needs and preferences.

It can track a variety of activities
Although this watch is targeted primarily at runners, you can also use it for biking, swimming, strength training, and many other indoor and outdoor activities that you can choose in the Polar app.

Con
You'll have to rely solely on GPS for tracking
Overall, the tracking works well, but it would be much more reliable if the watch also had Glonass capabilities, in case you lose GPS signal.

It has one of the most precise on-wrist heart rate monitors
Even to date, the majority of sports watches don't offer particularly good hear rate tracking capabilities. You either have to buy an additional chest strap or rely on built-in sensors that are often imprecise. The M430 offers the best of the two worlds - you can get data nearly as precise as from a chest strap without having to buy and wear one.
