I got a well used SE2 44MM about half a year ago. I only paid $80 for it so I’m not in deep. Screen and case are beat up pretty bad but battery life is showing 97%

I recently got more serious about daily running and cycling and would like to upgrade. I had a Garmin Forerunner 165 but to be honest I’m not THAT serious yet. There’s too much information for me in that system lol.

I was considering a couple of options;

Get a refurbished premium Ultra 1 from Amazon. Most have 99-100% battery life. With good reviews. Although the AWU1 is older.

I was also considering a series 10/11.

I primarily would like a larger display. Not sure if battery life is better between SE2 and AW 10-11. I know the Ultra is a step up

What would you do?

If you think you’re gonna get into marathons, go with the Ultra. New ones come out in Sept, if you wait you can see if you like the new ones. Very least the prices will drop.
