Goodbye Garmin? Maybe the App has finally arrived?

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active and S6 Active seem to me to be the best phones out there. I had reasons to prefer them over the S7 and S8 when I was comparitively shopping. Better cameras were the 1st thing that comes to mind. The Active models are water resistant and shock resistant with a much tougher case than a fragile standard model, almost like a small Otterbox built in to the edges and corner areas. O-ring type gaskets and seals everywhere.

The standard non active S8 is water and dust proof as well. I've got the S8 active and I think the only real advantage it has is in battery life. I can run nearly 20 hours between charges if I want to even using it semi heavily I can still get a good 16 hours out of it.
