Yeah, essentially.
It is larger, it has a bigger battery, it has a flashlight built in.
If I use standard GPS settings and on-demand SpO2 instead of always on, I get 40 days of battery on a full charge and that's even without much solar time. If you're out in the sun a lot you'll get unlimited battery.
Btw an essential accessory IMO are some of the USB-C to Garmin adapters from Amazon, which will let you charge this thing with any standard USB cable.

You can also get small rubber covers for the charge port to keep it clean. Like these (I didn't use this listing personally but they look right):

I also recommend these to protect the glass:

Fit great and almost no impact on solar charging. Garmin says using a protector may void your warranty, which is some BS btw Garmin if you're reading.
Make sure you put the latest firmware on, it's pretty decent now. Older firmware has lots of bugs. You can do it via the app.
