I was also surprised that Garmin didn't have a built-in watch face that displayed HR. I was used to this coming over from FitBit. There also aren't a lot of 3rd party watch faces that have this option. After searching high and low, this one is my favorite. It's Alpha by PlayItLoud. It did cost me $1, but totally worth it for the design and HR Running based on your heart rate is a very effective way to train.

Bad news - so far, it seems to really chew threw battery life. I’ve done numerous 3+ hour events (running / biking) and only had my Fenix 5 Plus lose 5% or so of its battery charge during the event.

Great sensor set (heart rate, pulse ox, compass, air pressure, etc.) Detailed control of battery life. Can’t do “straight line to start” navigation, only traceback+route. Not 99.999% reliable software, as mine froze twice over 5 months use. Most of the features are in much cheaper watches.
