I’ve got the big one last year. It’s still worth it — while the usage overlaps a bit, you still want a ruggerized device that can survive knocks and submersion for emergencies.
This is still a rumour after all.
- msh 5y agoIs the Garmin more durable than a iPhone in a rugged case with screen protection?
- frosted-flakes 5y agoDefinitely. An iPhone is still a glass slab, after all. Drop it on a rock screen-down and the screen can still easily break. Plus, a dedicated device can have better battery life.
