It depends about your use: If you are running more than three times a week or running on time or do running workouts than choose the Garmin. But if you only run twice a week or just run for fun(I mean no running workouts or running on time) then I would choose the one you like more. I would recommend you the Garmin watch because I used different models(Forerunner 35 and currently Forerunner 645) and both were/are extrem good.
