I want to get a GPS device for going on longer hikes. Whoa, what a rabbit hole. Probably not surprising. Fallen into looking at the Garmin smartwatches. Oh boy, there are a ridiculous number of models, sizes and features…a YouTube video said there are 15 editions. They’re all expensive, but there is a sale going on right now.

I mostly want the maps and safety functions of the GPS - including messaging and tracking for family - but not sure if the watch enables that too.

The Garmin with solar have ~30 days battery, although with GPS on it’s more like 30 hours.
