For all those clammering to sell and throw away, stick on the shelf, I will keep, buy, or what have you all your Garmin watches so long as they aren't trashed and are relatively newer models.

Yes I am serious. PM me so we can discuss further if your done with Garmin.

All existing health data and features, however, will remain free.

Perfect!

I just saw DC Rainmaker's video on this, and I'm not impressed. In any case, I've bern using my Garmin watch mainly for running, and I've been more interested in spot data than history on Connect. Still, I'm on my last Garmin watch. The hardware itself seems to last for only 18-24 months before problems start piling up, so I decided that my next watch will be Coros. I'm under no illusions that the hardware would be more reliable, but it costs half of what I've paid for my Garmin.

Hopefully Coros watches avoid this but I’m not holding my breath. Coros makes a solid running watch for cheap and I’m hoping it stays that way. It’s got what I need and nothing else.

Damn, I'm stuck with my TicWatch and I was missing my old Garmin... and I was planning to buy again a Garmin by Christmas but now.... shit

No reason not to still, nothing has changed for users. This is a paid tier. This is wildly overblown as of right now. Every company on the planet is cramming AI into some trash.

I will never understand the fitness metrics craze...I don't want my health maintenance to be more systematized than observing two or three core principles and letting the rest sort itself out
