On the other hand, a Garmin Fenix can be easily opened with an inexpensive tool and replacement parts are easily found online.

Their customer support is also aces too. I've got a Fenix 6s and the battery is going out on it, and they're replacing it for free. No questions or fuss. Just a shipping label.

For as expensive as they are, I've been extremely happy with them. When this replacement dies in another 3+ years I'll definitely be getting another Garmin.
