I do have it - yeah, it’s very stable. Athlytics also provides all the recovery metrics you’d ever need. I hear you on the Garmin challengers, but this is a little bit different. When Apple comes into your space, you’re going to have to either dramatically up your game in terms of reliability, quality of user experience and presentation and everything else, or you’re going to get steamrolled year by year. The Ultra as it stands right now is v1. By v3 I’m willing to bet this market is going to look very, very different.


It's taken Apple 8+ years to get to this point...except every year of the apple watch I suspect the apple eaters were all over that and have been signaling Garmin downfall. Call me when Apple builds an avionics suite!


You do realize that product designs change over time?

Apples product engineers and marketing team probably didn’t envision building a Garmin competitor at the the time the Apple Watch was first created.

Focus groups, listening to your customers, and creating a future forward looking vision is how the Ultra came to be.

Making fun of them for taking 8 years to release a Garmin competitor is ridiculous. The designs for the Ultra probably started maybe 2 years ago?

Apple doesn’t have to design avionics to beat Garmin in a single product category. Garmin should be worried about losing market share.
