Garmin is vulnerable to disruption by cheap Chinese competitors at the low end of the market. They're now trying to move beyond selling individual devices to build an ecosystem with multiple types of devices connected to online services. And their latest devices are starting to provide something like a little AI fitness coach on your wrist, which is valuable even to ordinary people not into extreme activities. So far the execution is a little clumsy and buggy but the potential is huge.

I've wondered if garmin is vulnerable to the apple watch.

That said, I love my garmin watch - it's and offline device that is useful without selling all your data.
