I made the switch a year and a half ago. I’ve been using Garmin since the forerunner 101. I use Apple to track everything but long runs and skiing when I put my Fenix on.

As I’m sure you’ve heard it comes down to this: Apple does all the smart stuff and daily stuff better. Workout tech at this point is pretty good. Garmin does the workouts way better but lacks real smart capabilities. I wanted the ability to leave my phone at home and run while being reachable and I wanted easy music connection to Apple Music.

Everything you’ve heard about Apple Watch battery is true. It’s lame. After 18 months on my series 7 the battery is at 83%. If you do the Apple Watch get the ultra. Constantly charging the aw is a drag.

No way. Garmin uses all three satellite constellations and has a host of features for athletes Apple Watch can’t remotely touch.

Years ago Apple had a better optical hr sensor but at this point everyone is using a good one.
