As a runner I can say that the Garmin is not pricey from my perspective because it is optimized for running. I got a new Garmin Forerunner to replace my old one even though it's about the same cost as an Apple Watch. I have no interest in buying Apple Watch because I would need to carry an iPhone while running, and I have no interest in strapping this big clunky phone to my arm when running.
