I just got the Quatix 8 in 47mm and it has all of your required features, plus I think its the best looking Garmin right now. Battery lasts 15 days on a charge. love it.

Be aware you will be losing a lot leaving Apple Watch. You’ll get lots of benefits of course but the UI / Apps / Software / Music Streaming are pretty bad. It’s going to feel especially bad coming from a polished OS experience. Having said that loads of pros. Top notch fitness tracking. Battery for days. Flashlight. Super rugged looking and performing hardware. No phone on your wrist distracting you lighting up like a Christmas tree all the time. The software and the bugs are what let Garmin down. If you can cope with that I have an Enduro 3. IMO best watch Garmin make. Second Fenix 8 (non pro) 51mm solar.
It’s the king of Garmins line up in my opinion. If you don’t dive or need a speaker then no point getting the 8. The enduro is an 8 without those features. It’s also lighter. Super comfortable and has battery for weeks.
The fenix has a few of the Apple safety features but nowhere near as good. They have the main one high / low heart rate alerts when not exercising. I think they have some sort of fall detection but it's not as good or polished as Apple. With Garmins buggy software not sure I'd trust it anyway. AW also has sleep apnea alerts and hypertension alerts (new) which the Garmins do not have.........yet.
Ich habe mir die Fenix 8 Amoled Titanum Sapphire 47mm direkt nach dem Launch gekauft und bin bis heute super glücklich, von der Fenix 7 gewechselt zu sein. Im Allways on-Modus hält der Akku nach wie vor 7 Tage. Ich habe täglich mindestens eine Aktivität mit GPS-Nutzung und per Bluetooth gekoppelten Sensoren und Kopfhörern. In den ersten Monaten gab es noch erhebliche Softwareprobleme. Die sind aber soweit ausgeräumt. Ich kann sie dir nur wärmstens empfehlen. Auch im Sonnenlicht hatte ich noch nie Ableseprobleme. Die Karten sind deutlich besser als bei der MIP-Version. Und ich hätte nie gedacht, wie oft ich die eingebaute Taschenlampe nutze.
If you are a multi athlete, then go for Fenix 8. If you run a couple of times a week and go to the gym once or twice, basically any Garmin watch between 300£ and 500£ will do. But since you've said you want the best, I truly recommend fenix8. I've owned my 51mm amoled sapphire for just over one year and I wouldn't change it for anything else.

Wow, stop the rage - the person is asking for advice. Be kind.
Your saying you dislike having to check the battery 24/7 - the garmin will fix that for you. If your into tracking hikes etc, the Garmin will do that better. You might loose some cash, but also gain a watch that suits you better. Im very happy with my fenix 8 solar.
