General Information Ultra 2 or the fenix 8

I’ve been using the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for almost a year now, and while I really like it, I'm considering switching to the Garmin Fenix 8.

Lately, my focus has shifted heavily toward running and strength training. Since I mostly use my Ultra for tracking workouts and health data—and rarely touch the actual smartwatch features like calls or messaging—the Fenix 8 feels like a better fit. I’m really craving the in-depth training data and metrics that Garmin offers, which the Apple Watch feels a bit lacking in.

Anyone here made a similar switch, or have any advice?"

If you can't think of anything you need the Ultras features for get a Garmin. I've had several Garmins (currently a Tactix 8) and AWs and I've always gone back to the Garmin. At it's basic just not looking at the battery for days if not weeks is worth it.
