With the lack of LTE options for the current models - and with so many people I know who run both an Fenix / Forerunner / Edge and also a Apple Watch (for the connectivity) AND who don't carry a phone - having the ability to run LiveTrack etc between the devices would be a great feature.

Can't believe this isn't already something Garmin already would offer.

I understood it well, but it is nonsense using Apple watch like a relay for sending incident alerts from a Garmin watch, when you can configure the Apple watch self for sending them directly, without the need of any connection between Garmin and Apple.

No. You are not getting the point, the issue is trying to get out without a cell phone. The apple watch with LTE acts as a cell phone 1/10 of a size.

No less devices, the same two but instead the phone, the apple watch with LTE.

Another feature would be Incident Detection Notifications.

In my case i have a Epix gen 2 and Garmin Edge 830, but a cheap apple watch series 5 with LTE is on my hands now, so a Garmin Connect for Apple watch with LTE with limited Cellular / Bluetooth functionalities would be great. Thinking in removing bands to the apple watch and throw it in my case to be carried in the backpocket.

It would be simpler and more reliable to set up the incident detection on the Apple watch. The less devices in the chain, the less potential problems.

I was about to post something similar and i found this...

Another feature would be Incident Detection Notifications.

No activity syncs, metrics, etc, etc. Just conectivity.

Doubtful .. since Garmin has their own smart & sports watches.
