   Good riddance, Apple Watch! We had some good memories, but I'm trading you in for a more durable smartwatch that measures its battery life in months, not hours.

   (The poor bastard couldn't even stay charged for a long day hike in Yosemite, and that was the last straw)

     A lot of people get Garmin watches for fitness and health tracking reasons, in addition to the long battery stamina. However you should know that it is widely suspected that they accomplish this by draining your life force for power! It's the only reasonable way to explain why they seemingly never have to be charged... 🕵️♂️

     @KingOfRedLions Aha! See, that's why I bought the SOLAR edition, so it can trickle charge using the sun's energy instead of my life force 😂

     @ruhrscholz Thanks! It seemed like the best overall choice for backpacking + hiking.

     @killyourfm good choice on the Instinct 2x, coming from an Instinct Crossover 😉

     @killyourfm I wish I had the model you have. I believe it has Garmin pay.

     @batvin3211 Does it have the built-in flashlight like the Instinct 2X? That's honestly what pushed me over the top -- that's going to come in VERY handy!

     I still haven't charged my Garmin, which blows my mind after years with an Apple Watch. It has an estimated 10 days of battery life remaining, even after multiple day hikes and bike rides with full GPS tracking enabled.
