Motorola Defy vs Garmin InReach (www.xda-developers.com)

I have an InReach Mini 2 but am thinking about picking up a Motorola Defy to try as an alternative.

I'm mostly out day-hiking, but usually in remote areas which are sparsely-populated where cell signal is inconsistent. Only a few times a year am I lucky enough to find time for multiple-day hikes.

Garmin is reliable, and I'm in their ecosystem with my watch, too.

But I'm a sucker for new tech, and the Defy looks interesting.

Anyone have any thoughts either way?

Done. (TBH I really don’t have much to say. I just saw the news about the Defy being released for the US and figured it might help you to have someone else post something. I thought it might help break the ice.)

Appreciate it. It might :)
