Garmin Fenix 6X Sapphire vs Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hey guys, does anyone own both at the moment? Since the latest updates the Watch4 really became pretty good, lasting 1,5 days whatever i throw at it and I am not doing 100mile runs or multi day expeditions but 3-8h bike rides and the like. Therefore I don't really think that the Fenix 6 Pro is needed, even though I would like to test the navigation Features to find new Trails. Does anyone own both at the moment? I was really disappointed with Battery and Software but I have to admit that Samsung has improved a lot lately on tracking, fitness and health apps, aswell as on-watch features and impreovements, such as battery optimizations, faces and gestures.

Thanks in advance!
