Personally I use a FR620 for my runs, an Edge 520+ for my rides, and a Polar OH1 for heart rate monitoring. The OH1 also connects to my C2 PM5 for rowing, and it also connects to my Peloton. I can also connect the OH1 to my phone/iPad/computers for things like Zwift or TrainerRoad. This is probably the most universal type of configuration you're going to get.
If I had to replace anything, it would be the FR620, and I would replace it with a watch that can play music so that I can ditch my iPod, but that is not going to happen until the watch dies. It has been fantastic for me for years.
Let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help.
Been using a refurb vivoactive 3 for a year (which I like), but part of the screen looks like someone took a hole-puncher to it lately... so picked up a vivo4 ($100 off) and a smartscale (not on sale...).
HR with the vivo3 shows about half while using my Concept2 rowerg -- recently got the HRM-Dual to replace an older version strap that refused to live again after replacing the decade-old battery. :\

I've been satisified with the Barton Watch band straps for about $20. I don't see anything special about the Garmin ones, swapped it out as soon as I got my watch.
The Fenix 6 Pro and above models have maps and turn by turn routing. The navigation isn't as responsive as a phone, but it is serviceable, potentially more accessible while riding, and the battery life is much better.
There are lots of established manufacturers of standard watch bands that fit standard lugs, and many of them are very well-built with really high-quality materials for the price. Many Garmin models however, have/had proprietary screw in bars (Fenix 3/5, VivoActive 1), or proprietary sized spring bars (Fenix 6) with a proprietary quick release mechanism. If you have a Garmin with proprietary lugs then straps from reputable band vendors like Barton may not fit (definitely not the quick-release) and you have to buy from Garmin or one of the knockoff vendors on Amazon. It's the random chinese vendors on Amazon who I haven't been impressed with.
I started in the Garmin world with a Vivoactive, then moved to ForeRunner. I'm currently in that weird spot that a FR245 doesn't do enough, but a FR745/945 does more than I need. I've been keeping my eye out for 745 sales to replace my 645 and get some of the newer software features, and this is the best I've seen that I can use. An extra $50 for the improved battery life and looks of the Fenix is worth it for me.

Shipping was another $11 but $261 before tax is still better than $300 before tax...
