I feel like I was too hard on Garmin. Their GPS hardware in the late 2000s were outdated and so I rooted for Apple/Google to replace them with map software and phones.

And here I am watching Google destroy Fitbit and eyeing Garmin again.

I'd like their upper watches to have some more smart features, but not at the expense of battery life.

My Fenix has NFC payments, it gets notifications. Holds music/podcasts so I connect headset directly to it.

But reading and responding to notifications is clunky.

Still, for me Garmin is the way to go.

I got a pixel watch 2 last year when I bought a Pixel phone and tried wearing it. Loved the extra smart features but couldn't stand the battery life. Just a non starter for me
