Oof.. I got a Suunto smartwatch few years back. Build quality was really good with titanium & sapphire glass. I guess when it's time to buy a new one, I'll look somewhere else. Such a shame, the company has a bit of history.
Good to know, Polar shall be my Garmin replacement I recommend going forward. I was otherwise also recommending Suunto
I urge you all to do your homework. All these devices are dependable on GPS (which is EXCLUSIVELY US system and a present/gift to the world) and/or your Android/iOS phone (again, EXCLUSIVELY US Systems).
So... replacing those products, just because they are associated with US companies, does nothing. They are produced in Asia, anyway.
It is like refusing to use american spoon to eat american eggs. The eggs are still american.
Don't get me wrong, I am proEU and domestic production, but ditching companies like Garmin has nothing to do with empowering EU production and everything to do with spite. Same goes for Tesla (which, quite honestly, really IS a crappy car).
