Apple Watch worth it?

Yes, it's cool to answer your watch when your phone rings, but i liked my Jawbone up 24 better (too bad it died 2x)

My son has a garmin and it is really good.

The battery on my Apple Watch 2 lasts for two full days including a 5 mile run daily with a exercise app running the entire time. I love my watch and would recommend in a second. I also love being able to text from my watch. I can leave my phone sitting on the counter at home any texts I get come straight to my watch. Very easy reply back to from voice command.

I can't tell if "lasts for two full days" is supposed to be sarcastic. My Garmin charge will last for weeks. I traveled for about 15 days not long ago and left my charger at home - it came back still with at least 25% juice. Using the GPS function will obviously eat the battery faster, but it's about 9-10 hours. So... 600 miles, not 5. I'm not trying to diss the Apple Watch, but I completely don't understand what redeeming qualities it has.
