The problem is, at this point at least, Garmin is still the best in market, and their path down enshittification hasn't cut away the tools that make that so. The stuff they paywall is stuff that isn't needed, and as long as they keep it that way, I'll be ok with staying with them. I use a Fenix 6S, and they stopped doing anything interesting with it years ago, but it still works and still does everything it did on the day I bought it. I probably won't replace it for another 6 months or so, but even though I'll likely buy Garmin again, this shit has me concerned enough that it probably won't be a Fenix this time, because I feel like enshittification that does impact basic functionality could drop at any moment...
Coros seems pretty comparable from what I've seen.
