Moving from a Samsung Ultra to this was a very good move. Besides the battery life, the usefulness of it, and the hidden actions that I thought I lost, including being able to close my Kia EV9 from the watch when it recieves a door open notifcation, is great. The activity method could do with being improved a bit as building a sequence of activities with different datascreens hasn't really worked well. I've yet to try on a big hike, and may switch on the InReach to trial. So far, so good though!
