I'm technologically behind the times. Looking for a device to best serve hiking and hunting wishes for day trips and a few days afield. Yet to own a smart watch of any variety but have been getting back into some tech. in regards to my cycling habit- HR band, Strava, and cycling head unit.

Currently assessing a Garmin wearable vs handheld for my more foot-based activities. My last GPS was a Gecko 301 (early 00s) and have been using strava on my phone- but want something different to save my phone for contact and emergencies. Any advi(like the instinct) vs a handheld for days afield? Thanks for sharing your experiences,
