I just ordered this over Fitbit Sense for $189 (Costco).

Been researching fitness trackers to replace my Charge 3. Sense has bad/mixed reviews and Fitbit has had quality issues with every tracker I've bought over the years.

I have heard great things about Garmin products and my research convinced me to buy this one over Charge/Versa/Sense. I didn't want a big, round watch but there's some great Garmin round watches too (Vivoactive 4 and Venu were on my shortlist).

Plus I don't want to pay Fitbit a monthly subscription to get access to my own advanced fitness data. Garmin makes it all available for free - that's the way it should be.

You cannot compare them. They are completely different animals.
Apple watch is fully blown smartwatch, essentially your iPhone on the wrist. Yes, it has basic fitness tracking functionality, but that's exactly what it is: basic.
Garmin is first and foremost fitness tracker, designed and optimized for this purpose. Yes, it has some basic smartwatch functionality, but it it's a few very basic things.
Don't get me wrong: both are great products, they are just designed for different purposes.

serious question, i checked the description and it's got GPS. so, im wondering why the absence of a compass is it's downfall when GPS, among other features, pretty much have the same functionality of a compass? am i missing something?

This deal finally allowed me to convince my wife to replace her V3 that died a few weeks ago. Much appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks to those that noted the Amazon price match on this. I purchased this with a 2-year protection plan from both sellers. After taxes and fees, I saved about $21 total by ordering from Amazon with next day delivery. Cancelling order from buydig

Target has the Garmin Sq Music for the same price. Also consider 5% Red Card savings.

One thing that really stood out to me is the 6-day battery life (with GPS off) vs barely a day for the apple watch.

The only thing missing in the SQ is the compass, it you buying this for tracking your running, cycling, this would be biggest downfall.

Are you sure? According to this site, the specs show that it does have compass.

Samsung/Apple watches are more recreational fitness trackers - they get you the basics. I find they also don't work well with other apps like Strava, MFP, etc. (they want you in their ecosystem and it's difficult/impossible to import/export data between apps). And battery life is awful.

GPS works with the internal compass. I had a phone a few years back without a compass and it would think I missed every turn until the GPS could catch up.
