Define superior. Only Apple makes Smartwatch SoCs with any kind of decent performance, other manufacturers like Qualcomm don’t put a lot of effort into the market segment and just put an old CPU core in a low power package and call it a day. It’s simply not profitable enough for them.
I don’t give a shit about any of that. It’s what the watch DOES, and Garmin does WAY more, for WAY longer.
Garmin does not do way more. Most of their “apps” are just replacement watch faces. Garmin doesn’t even try to compete on features, their selling points are battery life, price, and integration with other Garmin fitness accessories. Apple/Google/Samsung watches are so capable they’re basically tiny phones.
LOL wrong. go play with your apple toys.

Garmin seems to be doing fairly well targeting people who want a simpler smartwatch with a focus on fitness and battery life. I don’t don’t know who you think you’re benefitting by lying about their capabilities, but anyone who buys one on your recommendation expecting a feature rich device is going to be sorely disappointed.
It’s not my fault you can’t use technology. 🤷 Enjoy your toys.
I literally work at Garmin lmao. We don’t need your help. You’re not helping by lying about us.
