The Hume Band and Garmin’s wearables come from almost opposite starting points. The Hume Band is a single, purpose-built device focused on longevity and metabolic health. Garmin is an entire ecosystem of GPS smartwatches — Forerunner, Venu, Fenix, and more — built primarily around athletic performance. Comparing them isn’t really “which device is better,” it’s…
