I do a lot of deep wilderness hiking. I have two Garmin products - an InReach Mini 2 and a Fenix 6X watch. There are a couple of big benefits over the Apple/Android ecosystem. 1) Battery life. 21 days (more with the newer models). 2) No dependence on cellular/wifi data availability (though they have been doing their damnedest to require it for syncing you watch to your Connect app). I'd love to see them merge the functionality of the two devices (provide satellite messaging direct from the watch). I have zero desire for some of the other stuff they've added (music player, payments, etc.), they're just battery drains.
