Depends who you ask.
Garmin users don’t want to deal with a touchscreen on runs, bike rides and in the pool. And Garmin has been in the satellite game for wayyyyyyyy longer as well. And the Garmin ecosystem is deep — their users aren’t jumping on an apple product just to “close their rings” every day.
I had an Apple Watch and it seemed more like a toy/fashion rather than something dedicated that I could take on a run and not have to worry about the screen ignoring my inputs because sweat got on it.
And fukk having to charge a damn watch every other day because it’s drawing power from a bunch of apps I don’t use. I charge my garmin like once every week and a half/two weeks.
