              Can read messages. On Android can reply with canned responses set up in the Connect app
GPS tracking during workouts without having to have phone within range, has heart rate, sleep tracking and more
Instinct can control media (play/pause/skip) when phone is in range, though the Forerunner music can store music to play via Bluetooth headphones
No LTE/eSIM support on any of them that I know of
Best feature for me by far is the time is always visible and in fact is even more visible in direct sunlight

Hmmm the music storage... How does it work? Can you just send an mp3? Or does it need to be from a specific service? Bummer about the esim, I was wanting to rid of the phone while I'm out running.

Download songs and playlists from your Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music accounts for phone-free listening.

So it seems it is specifically those services I found more info here

Awesome... Thanks! On second thought i think I'll hold out about the esim part. I can control the privacy on my phone decently enough but that would fly out of the window if the smart watch can call home on its own.

I have mine working with Navidrone without any issues.

I've never heard of that before. It looks awesome and I'm going to look into it!
