I did actually debate getting the Garmin as well since my sister has one and loves it, though the thing that stopped me from getting any of them was largely that I really hated having to recharge my Apple Watch all the time, and I felt like smart watches would universally require somewhat frequent charging.

Try a used Garmin, you won't be sorry, in fact you will be overwhelmed with how much functionality it has. If not happy you can resell it for about what you paid.

As for battery life, 5 days to 10 weeks depending on the model and how you use it...
