Garmin's closest Apple Watch Ultra rival is getting a soft gold revamp

Where most of the best Garmin watches are chunky and round, this one was square and very slim with an exceptionally bright screen, while still packing in the titanium backing, LED light, speaker, microphone, GPS and powerful health tracking tools Garmin is known for. It was a real Apple Watch Ultra 3 rival, in both design and performance.
