Is Garmin the Best Outdoor Smart device for fitness tracking?

Just throwing this out there but if you want something with sensors that looks like a g-shock you can get an actual g-shock. They make a couple models that have ABC sensors, heart rate, step counter, blood oxygen, etc.. and you can use them with or without the app. Both also have MIP displays. The two I’m referring to are the GBD-H2000 which is more geared towards fitness but still has the g-shock toughness and the GPR-H1000 Rangeman which is more outdoor/rugged style. I have both and wear them often. I got rid of my Garmin Instinct Solar 2X. The ABC sensors are pretty spot on accurate and the fitness sensors are actually Polar brand sensors so they’re on par with Garmin as far as heart rate and step counting goes. If you choose to use the app you can use a fake name, burner email and all that. I used it for a while with the internet access turned off but eventually got rid of it cause I rarely used it. If you have your mind set on a Garmin with an MIP display, definitely go for the 2nd generation Instinct as the “newer” 3rd generation uses the exact same sensors as the 2. Basically would be paying more money for the same watch.
