Handheld vs watch gps suunto ambit/Garmin tactix

[crumy]

Which side of fence you on? Handheld gps or watch style. Been using handheld and thought about watch style for this year. Not worried about chips for blm land or anything. Only waypoint mgmt. but if I go watch I will need a goal zero for charging and think that us a heavier option But is it better?

I have only used the suunto vector on the wrist and it wasnt very reliable in the compass feature . The durability also SUCKED and it lasted under a year. My Garmin handheld GPS is rugged and very accurate. I prefer hand held.
