I’d be underplaying things if I were to say that there is a fair amount of choice when it comes to smartwatches these days. Indeed, at last pretend count, between myriad different manufacturers and their many models, I got up to around eleventeen hundred before getting all dizzy and having to stop to breathe into a paper bag.
But out of all the multitudinous smartwatch manufacturers out there, there is one name that stood at the fore of wrist-based GPS digital fitness tracking way back when such tech was the sole domain of the overly enthusiastic exercise addict. That name is, of course, Garmin, itself a portmanteau of Gary Burrell and Min Kao, the founders of the company.
