Do you need Connect to use the device though? I was under the impression Connect is used for sync.

You can't do things like sync the watch to the phone and look at visualizations on the bigger phone screen while you're offline.

It's weird how much they still maintain a difference between a "fitness" watch and an "outdoors" watch and the supporting software.

It's the silly bifurcation between Garmin Connect and Garmin Explore software and online service worlds. It seems like an arbitrary accident of corporate history and leaky abstractions.
