Basically none of the technology Apple showed off in the original iPhone release was 100% brand new that no one else had, they just put it all together in a way that had never been done before.

Garmin has that, but does it integrate the same way?

Apple rarely introduces breaking tech. They release optimized tech that makes good products. Rarely first to market - they experiment, learn, adapt, and go in when confident.

I think in this case Garmin does watch features quite well, but the target audience is quite different. For the varieties of fitness tracking, granularity of data, resilient packaging, and battery life, garmin takes the cake. But on the flip side, picture quality and apps are much better on Apple's devices.
