I have an InReach Mini 2 but am thinking about picking up a Motorola Defy to try as an alternative.

I’m mostly out day-hiking, but usually in remote areas which are sparsely-populated where cell signal is inconsistent. Only a few times a year am I lucky enough to find time for multiple-day hikes.

Garmin is reliable, and I’m in their ecosystem with my watch, too.

But I’m a sucker for new tech, and the Defy looks interesting.

Anyone have any thoughts either way?

    less weight and cheaper monthly costs but you’ll have less connectivity/service to satellites and less battery life

      Have you found any articles comparing the two IRL, rather than just by specs? I’ve struck out looking for YouTube videos. I expect that’s due to the Defy being new.
