    Both watches are stand-alone GPS units and both work very well. You can navigate to a preloaded location or backtrack to a saved location very easily and I've found them to be very accurate... typically within 3 metres. With the hills around here I find the altimeter to be very useful and on the Traverse the storm alarm gives you about 2 hours notice of impending bad weather. Enough time to head for shelter. The moon cycle is handy for hunting and fishing.

    As mentioned above they're great for exercising and over lockdown my daily walk has been bluetoothed to my phone. Typically within 30 seconds the data is available to review on the likes of Strava or the Suunto App. The Fenix has heart monitoring in the watch whereas the Traverse requires a seperate sensor.

    I don't see me ever going back to a "dumb" watch ever again. These things are just too handy.
