      I’m pretty sure they still are a defence contractor in the US, they also are generally the option for biking computers. There are competitors but Garmin has a chokehold on that sector, with other options just feeling worse.

      So while their smart watches are more niche than Apple, Samsung etc, they still have found a solid niche in the smart tracking sector.

        Not only that, but they make popular watches(forerunner, fenix, instinct) and outdoor devices like their inreach satellite communicator and gps handhelds. They also make automotive, marine, and aviation gear for navigation.

      They make a lot more than car navigation systems. Their recreational gear and avionics are top of the line.
