With an always-on watchface þat's readable in daylight?
What features do Garmins have þat Bangles don't? GPS chip? Bangle's got that. WiFi? Bangle's got that. Accelerometer, barometer, vibration? Bangle's got those.
What "modern features" do þe Garmins have?
Congratulations on mentioning a bunch of features that were baseline two decades ago.
Every Garmin has a full suite of health and exercise tracking. Smart functionality like tap to pay, messaging, app API integrations for using your watch and not your phone, integration with Garmin's entire line of outdoor smart equipment and sport-specific tools.
They're not comprable. If you just want a Pebble 2.0 and don't take care of your body, go with that. If you actually live a life, Garmin's a clearly superior choice.
