Fitbit Inspire 2 vs Garmin Instinct 2S

Battery life is excellent as mine went a week and still had about half the charge. I've noticed my phone battery was draining significantly quicker due to the Bluetooth usage, so I prefer to have the unit gather data for a day, using a one-time per day sync in the morning. This would however, effect it's notification options from your phone. I sacrificed these functions and simply closed the phone app and turn off Bluetooth on my phone except to sync the unit

Decent watch but I would not recommend it to anyone else. I purchased my first Garmin Instinct Tactical in early 2020. In ~2.5 years I've gone through two of them and each has had the same issue at the end of its life - it stops connecting to Bluetooth and GPS and the battery life becomes non-existent

**1-The features:** I'm not sure how to describe how great the features on this watch are, It feels like having a phone in your watch, for example I use Spotify in the gym using the watch and not my phone which makes things easier for me, be that as it may you the notifications feature is my favorite, me as a person I don't like touching my phone much as it distracts me a lot and the watch allows me to reply to people using quick responses, voice messages and typing and etc. It used to take ages for me to reply to people as I don't use my phone much but now I reply whenever I want, I use shazam a lot as I go work and study in coffee shops and I like exploring new music. Google keeps, Google pay, Google maps, Outlook and etc. is a plus that makes you more productive, if you have galaxy buds you'll be flabbergasted how amazing is the compatibility between your phone, buds and the watch is!!

Once paired with my iphone, I could not stop the watch from receiving notifications (news feeds, texts, etc) from my phone. I went to both my iphone settings and the Connect app, disabled notifications, but they still came through. Extremely annoying.
