I am big Garmin fan. I love my Fenix 6. But this model has no touch screen (what is a pro point in my world). They also have models with touchscreen: https://www.garmin.com/de-DE/c/wearables-smartwatches/

Garmin is a Swiss company, but their operative headquarters are located in the US. So.. not sure if its really a European company.

First time I hear about Garmin being referred to as a Swiss company - whatโ€™s your source? AFAIK, theyโ€™re American though and through.

"Garmin Ltd. is a Swiss[7] company headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland[2] with operational headquarters in Olathe, Kansas."

So, its a faky Swiss company, but.. yeah.

Interesting! Meanwhile, in the English version: โ€œGarmin Ltd. is an American multinational technology company based in Olathe, Kansas.โ€
