Lots of Garmin love in here! Anything affordable that handles GPS well?

Alright, where's my replacement once my current Fitbit dies? What company makes a watch that tracks steps, heart rate, sleep, spO2, notifications, is generally water resistant (light swimming) and has a battery that lasts ~5+ days? Bonus points for open firmware/hardware that doesn't require me to design my own apps/systems for each of those items. I don't even use most of what my Versa 3 can do, but I know it won't last forever and I'd at least like an idea of where to go if/when it breaks down.

Garmin Instinct 2 does all of those things well, and has excellent battery life. I charge mine about every two weeks.

I'd feel kinda happy about that if it happened after what they did to pebble, if it wherent for the fact that the assholes who fucked that up still got their money, and now even more people would have wrist-mounted bricks.

It’s a damn shame they won’t drop Chrome like they do most things. I can dream, I suppose.

They destroyed Fitbit. It was just to kill competitors. I've had so many issues with Google hardware it's insane.

They haveb't stopped producing them... Yet. They're just planning to.
