Garmin has some of the worst and buggy software out there, they are slow with fixing issues IF at all, i got bike computers from them and they are frustrating at time, crashing, buggy etc. Just look at their official forums its dreadful.
Can`t speak for their smartwatches, but at this price point i feel both the AW Ultra and Garmin watches are overpriced.
But that being said for running and considering the battery life and your needs the Garmin is the clear winner.
I ordered a AW Ultra because i use my bike computer to record my cycling, the AW is more of my daily health coach, making sure i close my rings, monitor my sleep and most importantly is standalone via cellular as i hate being connected to the internet/social media.
A dumbphone would have worked as well and way cheaper but the weaksause me likes futuristic gadgets especially wristwatch ones i blame my childhood cartoons for that.

so I decided to keep the ultra. It is sooooooooooo hard to take it back 1 with how awesome and customizable it is and 2 because I have become accustomed to the music and podcasts on it.
Yay! (I have a Tactix Delta and an Epix Gen. 2. Both fabulous in their own way. But the Apple Watch Ultra is on my wrist now.)
Really happy for you!😃
Congrats! I just returned mine, but miss it like ****. Probably getting one directly from Apple though, so it would be overkill to buy one extra for myself.
I'm sure you will be even more happy with it now that you've made a decision. Enjoy 🤗
2nd Epix just sent back this morning, 2nd Ultra being delivered any minute. Still using my Fenix 5 and Edge 830.
