My Huawei gt4 is giving all these data at just 12k. And it's hr monitoring is also one of the best. Check out Quantified scientists review of it on yt.
I recently switched to suunto and they are great. The race s is more affordable and pretty good. However for a first running watch I believe garmin is a bit too pricey. They also added many paywalls within their app and various features also are behind a paywall. I've also been told that their app isn't very good.
My recommendation is the huawei gt4. (I've used it for 2 years). As it's an older model now, it is very cheap. It has very good battery life, good gps, good heart rate monitoring and many smart watch features. Great for running! If you're thinking about getting one, watch the review from the quantified scientist on youtube.
I don't think you'll be missing out on much compared to garmin and again, way cheaper
I am using gt4, love the internal (cold) storage for storing music. However I would like to note that the HUAWEI app has limited functionality with ios ecosystem, much smoother with android though. I generally need to switch the pairing to my android phone to transfer music. Also it’s elegant enough
With the price point, Garmin should have more features than a huawei watch but forget features, even the sensors are only sub par. They are better off with an older Huawei GT4 or GT5 model than a Garmin
