    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.

        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.
