Looking to get a Garmin watch that fits my needs

Watch / Wearable

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to get a Garmin watch that fits my needs, and I’d love your advice.

My main sports/activities are:

  • Running & trail
  • Strength training (I’d like to track sets, reps, weights, rest times, etc. directly on the watch)
  • Hiking & Rucking
  • Shooting (bonus if the watch can pair with a MantisX sensor or similar)

Secondary sports:

  • Climbing
  • Alpinism
  • Swimming
  • Mountain biking

Budget: ~€500

I’m trying to find the best model that strikes a good balance between multisport tracking, detailed strength training features, and outdoor navigation. I’m open to suggestions on which Garmin would be the most versatile for this mix of activities.

Thank you !
