I've had a GPS watch for a while...a Garmin Epix, now a Fenix 5X sapphire (which I'm gonna sell), and soon a 6x Pro Solar (cos I like gadgets and birthday).
The Epix was a great watch with touchscreen that was excellent to use with maps. Could be a bit glitchy. The 5x works likes a charm, works under canopy too. Works well with the Basecamp software to put maps, waypoints or even Birdseye sat onto the watch.
I have mainly used mine for time to go to a hut, waypoint or back to the carpark. Flick GPS on then flick it off...battery has never been an issue. Handy right there on your wrist. I wouldn't go somewhere easy to get lost/bushed and just rely on any GPS watch. I also have a 66i that weighs nothing for what it brings and a dedicated PLB.
