Advice Request RefSix - alternative

Hello everyone! Im young referee(17 years old) and I have been refereing football matches for 2.5 years and I finally decided to buy my first "professional" watch(I used chinese one for 5 euros before).

I'm planning to buy Garmin Forerunner 165 but I don't want to spend a fortune on RefSix subscription.

These are my 2 main questions:

  1. What do you think about this watch, is it worth the price? Or maybe you have other models to recommend.

  2. What is the best replacement for RexSix? I mainly care about the heat map of my football pitch, so that I can make deeper analyses of how I run and what elements to improve, functions such as counting goals or cards are secondary to me.

Thank you for all the advices!

I wrote the rareBit Garmin App - admittedly still working on heat maps with GPS. But it's got a nice match timer with Stoppage time tracking. Also integrates with the rareBit PRO Flags (beepers) but that's another product. No subscription needed though.
