Had AW 6, 7, 10... Had Garmin Fenix 7 somewhere between AW... Now with Garmin instinct 3. ALl has pros and cons. none is perfect. For me it's great to switch from time to time... I would happily do the same between iphone and android, but the cost of switch in terms of software is crazy...
Ich war jahrelang Apple Watch Nutzer (Series 5/7, AWU 1/2). Sehr gute Uhr, dachte ich immer. Bis ich dann eine Fenix 8 ausprobiert habe. Es gibt nichts besseres.
Und den Kommentar mit Spielzeuguhr befindet Apple Uhr kann ich teilen, sieht so aus und wirkt lächerlich wie ich heute finde!
Software der Garmin ist super, klar nicht die Liga der Apple Watch Watch, aber: es ist und soll eine Uhr und ein tracker sein. Siri klappt super, alle wichtigen Informationen die man braucht werden ebenfalls angezeigt.
Wozu derart leistungsfähige Prozessoren ect. wie an der Apple Watch? Was soll der Schwachsinn?
Garmin ist der Meister!!!!!
Apple Watch User for a long time, then switched to Fenix 8. I really don’t regret it! It‘s a own device with all these top functions. An Apple Watch is just an gadget for the iPhone. Not more, yet.
I started with a FitBit, then switched to a basic Garmin watch, and landed on Apple Watch S3; I've since moved up to S7 and plan on getting the S12 when released in the fall. I primarily use it for workouts, health monitoring & sleep tracking, and _important_ alerts (messages from family, for example). Apple Pay on the watch is real nice too.

You can turn off all the non-health/workout notifications on the watch.
You need to ask yourself what the Garmin would be adding. A modern Garmin vs. a 4-year-old Apple Watch would likely be more accurate for GPS tracking, but you've stated that is not important to you. Garmin would add a 5-button interface that can be used without a touchscreen, better battery life, and a bunch of fitness metrics of dubious value.
Meanwhile you would lose the following on-the-wrist features: Siri, Apple Pay, Apple Music, Home, phone calls, responding to messaging, full email client, etc.
If I were you, I would keep the Series 7 or perhaps upgrade to a more modern Apple Watch. It doesn't sound like the Garmin would add much of value to your setup, and you would be losing a lot of features.

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
