I’m very aware of this thanks, however for training to run I went for convenience.
I like comparing with my friends in the app and using the training plans etc.
The fit to gpx converter is a good way to extract hiking data though!

Garmin Forerunner 55.
It’s the most basic one in the running series, but it works well enough for what I need it to do.
It’s the first real “closed ecosystem” device I own, as usually I go the open source route for everything, but Garmin has a good track record and the device has helped me train for a half marathon really well. I put a “casio”-style watch face on it, and I enjoy it a lot.

It’s completely valid for them to do so. Their Top Level Domain meant for their purposes.
Even though it’s rarely enforced, many TLDs have specific purposes and conditions against abusing it for unrelated purposes.
There are many others to pick from.
