Which Garmin Watch to choose?

Firstly, check which watches are compatible with our app

Are you wanting to track just your GPS data or are you also jumping?

See which watch models are compatible with our Garmin app for tracking your GPS data, and which ones can also track your jumps: Compatible watch list.​​​

Features and budget

The choice of watch is then down to the other other features you want your watch to have, and the amount you want to spend.


As a start, here are are few options in different price brackets, that will work for jumping as well as GPS data:


High end - Epix Gen 2

Mid - Fenix 7 or Forerunner 265

Low - Forerunner 255 or Venu 2


We personally really like the Fenix 7 Sapphire solar - the battery is amazing and it has surf-specific Garmin activities (for if you're not using Hoolan in the future) and additional health sensors. This watch is marketed as an outdoor rugged surf watch.  

​

We advise you take a look at the Garmin watch specifications to see what might suit you, and your lifestyle, the best.

TIPS:

You don't need a top end watch!​

You will be able to use Hoolan to track your jump and GPS session data just as effectively using a Forerunner 265/255 and the Venu 2, and these are much cheaper.  They have been designed and marketed by Garmin to be more of a running/ lifestyle watch, so it depends what else you'd like to use the watch for.

You don't need a watch that has native kiteboarding, windsurfing or wingfoiling activities. â€‹

You are able to select the correct activity for your session using the Hoolan app on your watch, and we will automatically use the best Garmin activity for recording your data, whether or not it is a native Garmin activity option on your watch model.
