Not having to think about charging another device is huge, and it charges so quickly that if I forget before an activity that I can plug it in while I’m getting ready or showering and have plenty of juice to last throughout.

Real reason I got my forerunner though is for backpacking and skiing, so conditions where I’ll be in extreme temperatures batteries don’t like, without cell phone service, without power overnight, and potentially needing to navigate on offline maps. I know this doesn’t reflect the average buyer though.
