I feel seen by this comment! TBF, I already had a Garmin GPS watch that I bought circa 2006 (one of their first I believe) for tracking my runs. When it came time to upgrade I compared it to the Apple watch. And you're right. I definitely decided I'd much rather spend that much money on something with a 12yr upgrade cycle vs the 2-4 year cycle on many of my Apple devices. What I've found most surprising is I have young children, and having a Garmin activity tracker watch (seems to be not much more than a step counter) has become the thing every 6yo is expected to have these days. We've avoided it so far, but from speaking to parents with children at neighboring schools they're nearly ubiquitous in the youngest year levels now.
