This article is missing the rather significant fact of ... how is this better than the Samsung Watch 4 (which I have)?

A better battery ... fine (although the article doesn't say just how much better). Anything else?

Smaller screen with large battery - That will always win.

The GT3 Pro and Watch 5 Pro would be a better comparison as they are in the same leagues.

Got the Watch 4 and I just manage to scrape 2 days with 80% of the features off.

That's really bad

Looking at getting a Garmin.

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Who's buying one?

As much as I like the watch.
