I just saw DC Rainmaker's video on this, and I'm not impressed. In any case, I've bern using my Garmin watch mainly for running, and I've been more interested in spot data than history on Connect. Still, I'm on my last Garmin watch. The hardware itself seems to last for only 18-24 months before problems start piling up, so I decided that my next watch will be Coros. I'm under no illusions that the hardware would be more reliable, but it costs half of what I've paid for my Garmin.

Perfect!
Hopefully Coros watches avoid this but I’m not holding my breath. Coros makes a solid running watch for cheap and I’m hoping it stays that way. It’s got what I need and nothing else.
Damn, I'm stuck with my TicWatch and I was missing my old Garmin... and I was planning to buy again a Garmin by Christmas but now.... shit

Garmin is being eaten alive by Apple and Samsung, it's their last grasp for some air. They refused to change their business model for a decade and it's a payback time.
