You’re right, all that stuff is technically a feature of that watch. Two things though, the Garmin can do some of that too and most of that simply isn’t done well enough by a watch to replace my phone. So to me it doesn’t matter if the watch includes a few features that my cellphone does better. I want a watch that does something different/ better than my phone already does.

Why add technology that’s a poor approximation of a cellphone when you already have a cell? My phone or Apple Watch doesn’t track fitness worth a shit, Garmin does
Garmin's still the Betamax. Might be better on paper but the public has spoken.

Because that's what Apple has decided their customer base wanted a watch to be. Besides, who doesn't love having someone answer the call just to be told they will call you back when they find their phone?
