    Comparing to Garmin where I get daily workout recommendations based on your sleep and recovery. From what I’ve seen the workouts are behind the paywall.

      that’s more like an added perk from garmin. I’d hardly consider workout plans a core feature of a watch.

        That is absolutely a core feature of Garmin not just a perk. The fact that Apple didn’t include it while doing explicit commercials for biking, running, and swimming was definitely to make it seem like it’s direct competition.

      Ah, so there is a subscription for guided workout sessions through Apple Fitness. I have that as a part of my subscription and it doesn’t have any kind of recommendation feature though; it’s just a subscription to watch guided workout sessions if you want to go seek them out.

      The watch still has all of the health and workout tracking features available without it. Garmin is slated as more of a fitness-based watch so it doesn’t surprise me they might have different features than the Apple Watch does.
