Apple
Watch Ultra 2
Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a GPS running watch. Rugged AMOLED smartwatch hybrid for runners already in the Apple ecosystem. I'd shortlist it for best iPhone integration and apps. The trade-off is shorter battery than dedicated running watches — Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a GPS running watch, not a one-product rotation.
COROS
Heart Rate Monitor
COROS Heart Rate Monitor is a heart-rate monitor. Optical armband HR monitor designed to pair cleanly with COROS watches and apps. I'd shortlist it for comfortable arm placement. The trade-off is optical accuracy trade-offs vs chest straps in hard intervals — Polar Verity Sense is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a heart-rate monitor, not a one-product rotation.
Garmin
HRM-Pro Plus
Garmin HRM-Pro Plus is a heart-rate monitor. Previous-generation Garmin dynamics chest strap — still strong value vs HRM 600. I'd shortlist it for accurate HR. The trade-off is superseded by HRM 600 for standalone recording and rechargeable battery — Garmin HRM 600 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a heart-rate monitor, not a one-product rotation.
Polar
H9
Polar H9 is a heart-rate monitor. Budget Polar ECG chest strap with Bluetooth and ANT+ — simpler sibling to the H10. I'd shortlist it for polar ECG accuracy story at a lower price than H10. The trade-off is fewer simultaneous Bluetooth connections than H10 — Polar H10 is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a heart-rate monitor, not a one-product rotation.
