I don't know if it's the best, but after using it for about a month it has performed really well. I really like having heart rate data. It synch to Strava really well through the Garmin Connect app. It doesn't have the mountain bike specific metrics that fenix 6 has, but those really aren't important to me especially given that this was about $500 cheaper when on sale. Battery life has been great. I can get a good 5-6 rides plus continuous wear before charging. Once synched to Strava I get alerts when approaching the start of my favorite segments along with distance, which is nice if I want to push the pace and attempt to get a PR.

This watch is great,... A nice improvement over the Fenix 3. I have the Epic too. I love the Fenix 5X so much, I'll sell the others! Awesome watch for all activities.
