This is the first time I’ve ever seen *anybody* say the Garmin isn’t *worlds* better than the Apple Watch in terms of design.

The Garmin looks (I would estimate) maybe 65,000x better. The fact that you can actually check the time on it much more quickly is a nice bonus too.

There’s plenty to like about the Apple Watch (personally I wouldn’t a buy a watch I couldn’t play music on), but the godawful design (which looks like literally every cheap smartwatch out there) is a big hurdle.

The fact that the Apple Watch doesn’t work with Android is also a bummer. I like to switch phones a lot, meaning the Apple Watch is a risky option. There’s no support for people with Android phones (or even fairly old iPhones).

Whereas the Apple watch is only an option if you have an iPhone!
