    • GPS tracking during workouts without having to have phone within range, has heart rate, sleep tracking and more
    • Instinct can control media (play/pause/skip) when phone is in range, though the Forerunner music can store music to play via Bluetooth headphones
    • No LTE/eSIM support on any of them that I know of
    • Best feature for me by far is the time is always visible and in fact is even more visible in direct sunlight

          Awesome… Thanks! On second thought i think I’ll hold out about the esim part. I can control the privacy on my phone decently enough but that would fly out of the window if the smart watch can call home on its own.
