Sorry, but if any company that wasn’t Apple was making this watch, no one would want it. Especially not as a sports/triathlon watch.
Garmin makes great sports/triathlon watches.
Apple makes a good watch when you are not doing sports/triathlon. Very good integration with the apple eco system. Great integration with the Telco infrastructure.
Apple is closing the gap in terms of sports features.
Garmin is not doing much in terms of integration with the Telcos and their support of third party apps is ...well....
Apple will continue to close the gap. In a little bit, you will have a watch that does 99% of what you want on the bike/run, you will no longer need to carry a phone, you will have access to your podcasts, music, etc. You will connect to the telco infrastructure.....
And one critical component why Apple with eventually eat Garmin's lunch : the apps you can put on the watch. Nutrition, health data, connectivity to backend resources....not even close.
I can see the Apple watch with a HUD (glasses or visor ) being the killer combo.
