> I like the Garmin devices cause they're so much simpler and does the specific built in sports functionality very very well. They are also far more tailored towards being functional whether or not you have internet connectivity. I wholeheartedly concur with your point. Garmin watches excel at sports tracking as their primary focus, with notifications and messaging features taking a backseat. Conversely, Apple and Google watches prioritize communication functions. Previously, I owned an Android Wear watch, primarily for monitoring my runs. Although it sufficed, I found myself wearing it exclusively during runs. The device required daily charging, had an irritating touchscreen, and lacked navigation capabilities without being paired to a phone, despite its built-in LTE modem. A few months ago, I opted to purchase a Garmin Fenix 6 watch. Upon using it for several days, I recognized that this was the device I had initially sought. The battery life spans two weeks—although heavy GPS use reduces this to about one week—and the watch includes maps for the entire United States. I have found it invaluable for hiking, running, and more, and its exceptional performance has led me to wear it continuously rather than solely during activity tracking.
