Yes https://shorturl.at/S2tPm Apple Watch Ultra 2 -- I like having it for emergencies trail running / backcountry skiing. Can confirm that it calls out when I have big falls. Good safety when in range (Garmin for when further away from connectivity).
I use their Mini 2 on expeditions for connectivity when I'm out of Apple/cell range -- https://shorturl.at/bEs81 -- not a watch but good for emergency extract. For watches, there are more choices then with Apple. Their one most relevant to me (for ultras / needing long battery life / maps) is their Enduro 2 https://shorturl.at/cAXcI. For you -- what specific kind of cycling? They have different optimal picks for road v mountain biking. Also, how many hours at a time?
i've been eying the Enduro 3. I'm looking for something that covers hiking/light trail running - 2-3 hours max, gravel and double track MTB 5-6 hours. I have been leaning towards the Enduro 3 but the price cut on the 2 is def a consideration.
3 for your purposes https://shorturl.at/oSYSE -- better battery life could be a life saver. Skin temp monitoring could help with hydration/layers and exposure reminder. Better navigation. Better solar. Lighter.
Hello Chris,
Are you using a "smartwatch" to track metrics and other details? If so which ones have you tried and whats your preference?
Thank you.

Which Garmin watch? I'm looking closer at those for some of the cycling features.
