There are still a lot of tradeoffs in the space. The Garmin Fenix is arguably better for serious runners and backpackers in part because of better battery life and probably being more rugged.
But they're huge even for 6 ft. large-limbed me.
And I could never get my remanufactured Fenix 3 to consistently measure distance accurately on twisty turny trails no matter what settings I played with.
Battery life is definitely still an issue. In fact, I often travel with just a cheap Timex so it's one less thing I need to bother with.
