It's important to know for serious runners most the previous Apple Watches could not last an entire marathon while tracking everything. They would die before the marathon was over. I have an aunt who does multiple iron mans in a year and she wanted an Apple Watch but it never made it through her entire events so she was always going with Garmin's. Apple Watch only lasts a full day when it's doing light tasks and notifications not constant tracking. Additionally, I believe it tracks heart rates every 4 to 5 seconds where as many Garmin's will do it every second.
