A little tangential information on Garmin battery life for anyone in the market. I see that the upper end of Apple Watch is 800 dollars. That’s around what I paid for my Garmin fenix 6 pro solar which I’m very happy with. I get about 15 days of battery and dropping to around 10 days if I record around 1.5 hours of activities per day.

Never owned an Apple Watch so can’t compare but I really like my Garmin. It is a little large though so not everyone’s cup of tea. Smaller versions probably last a bit shorter.

The top-of-the-line Apple Watch is $529. You can go higher than that, but that is purely for aesthetics (upgrade to titanium shell, stainless steel clasp, etc.).
