Yes, and the Garmin is by far more accurate. The regular metr works by sending ESC data over bluetooth to your phone then relies on the phone’s GPS for position tracking. My phone (Galaxy S10) will often not record a section at all, or sometimes the app will freeze up if I use the camera and take pictures during the ride or something.
The Garmin does all the logging with it’s own internal GPS chip and saves everything to the watch’s memory. Once the ride is over then it syncs that log to the phone/cloud for viewing. This seems to eliminate all the phone problems associated with logging.

The watch screens are fully customizable right on the watch so you can choose what you want to display, like speed, distance, distance to go, time, sunset time, ride time, etc.
Some models even have navigation which I use all the time. You create a route either on the phone app or in a computer browser and then sync it to the watch. It will display a map and give you turn by turn directions by vibrating/beeping before a road turn, or doing a different type of vibrating if you are off course. It’s great for longer rides where you just want to ride great roads and not focus on where you have to go.
The Garmin Connect app/ecosystem is really polished too. It’s definitely geared more for exercise than just tracking rides, but works great for that too. There is a whole app store that adds a lot of customization.
Also works as a regular smart watch, and the battery lasts a solid week if not using the GPS.
