Anyone tried to replace their handheld GPS with a GPS watch like a Suunto or Garmin? This topic hasn't been visited in a few years here as far as I can tell based on my search. I want to buy a GPS unit, but don't want to carry another "gadget" with me in the field. I have a decent app on my smartphone, but I don't think it is as good as a real handheld GPS unit. I wear a G-Shock watch anyways so replacing with a smart watch wouldn't be any extra burden. Seems like GPS watches are getting close, but can't quite replace a handheld. What do you guys think? I think if I wait a year or 2 I will probably be able to get a watch that does most of what today's handheld units can do. Worth waiting?

I've been very interested in this topic as well. I've been looking at possibly getting the Sunnto Traverse alpha But I'm just not sure about it. I haven't seen any reviews about it yet I'd prefer to get someones opinion of it that has actually used it in adverse real world conditions instead of just going by what the manufactures brag about what it can do.
