Garmin Watch Advice
I am looking to upgrade my running watch from a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier to a Garmin.
This is mainly due to my love of Strava and Garmin appear to have the monopoly on some of the features.
My main activities are running and hiking. I wouldn't use it to listen to music.
I've been looking at the Fenix 5X Plus and the Tactix Charlie.
Do either of them have any advantages over each other? I like that the Tactix Charlie can display Grid Coordinates but not sure if it's a feature on the Fenix.
Does anyone have either of these watches? Any advice would be appreciated.

The pulsemeter part isn't that useful really - you still need the HR belt when you exercise.
The fenix can display grid references too - It can do so much, You need to revise the handbook - crazy powerful.
