Benefits

• Ultra-wide sports ecosystem: running, triathlon, hiking, diving, golf, aviation, marine… Garmin covers it all.
• Autonomy often above the rest (especially in outdoor/solar ranges).
• Serious training metrics (load, recovery, VO2max depending on models). Not just rings to close.
• Robust material: buttons, glass, sealing, “field tool” formats.

Disadvantages

• Sprawling catalog: you get lost quickly. “S / non S / Solar / Pro / Gen 2”… in short.
• Interface sometimes less “sexy” than an Apple Watch. More functional. It depends on you.
• Very segmented advanced functions: you pay for the upgrade (map, multi-band, diving, etc.).
• Pages/versions change depending on country, bundles, stocks. Yes, it's painful.

Running / Triathlon: Forerunner

If you want the “100% exhaustive SKU by SKU” list (sizes, lenses, bundles, colors), that’s another madness. There, you have the real map of the territory. And frankly… that’s already a lot.
