Ok, so I don't want to be that guy, but I'm gonna be:
The InReach comes with a one year warranty. But used electronics are not covered by the warranty. You need a dated receipt to get the warranty. If something is wrong with the InReach, the buyer is stuck with it.
You can get a certified refurbished Garmin Inreach Mini with a warranty that starts the day you buy it from Amazon for $299. Also, Amazon has its own return policy for certified refurbished electronics: return it for any reason within 90 days and you get your money back, no questions asked. I got a refurb InReach a few months ago for $299. It was fresh in the box, and it worked perfectly.
I get that you're want to get some of your money back for a very expensive piece of equipment, but I think you're being greedy.
Seiko makes some very non-delicate ungentlemanly watches indeed. Some of their dive watches are as big and ugly as the Marathons.
I’m going to share an unpopular opinion: mechanical watches in the field are the equivalent of sticking a hipster in a flannel shirt, handing him an axe, and calling him a lumberjack. I love mechanical watches, but they’re second-rate timepieces once you step out of the Starbucks and into the woods. There are any number of better solutions for outdoorsmen. Casio ProTreks and G-Shocks and Suunto all make multifunctional digital watches that are much more rugged, durable, and accurate than mechanicals and every bit as water resistant. Compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer functions are common. They’re getting GPSes into them too. Some synch automatically by radio with atomic clocks. Some are even solar powered. And they cost what an entry level automatic costs.
I’ve got a beat-up old ProTrek that I’ve had for fourteen years and it’s still going strong. Worn it hunting, fishing, camping, to shooting matches, snowshoeing, camping in every season, kayaking, Tim Horton’s, the office on Friday, name it. This one looks decent: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003MOIVI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xESKAbCXF8VCS
Suunto are a little farther upmarket and a little cleaner in design: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B071NRWVLC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xISKAbDG5PNWD
Have you considered a GPS navigation device for the car? This refurbished Garmin goes for $53. No monthly fees or data to worry about.
Suunto Ambit 3 peak has great battery life, fits your needs, and is relatively inexpensive now at $275 though it will not play podcasts. Any phone that plays podcasts like the newer fenix are unlikely to last you an ultramarathom. I would suggest buying a small music player for a few dollars for your podcasts and manually DL onto it. Sure, it's more work but a lot cheaper and those batteries will last you a full day.

Thanks, that's it.

I'd love night vision, thermal cameras and this baby.
Thanks for the serious answer.
I've used Garmin and Delorme and am a bigger fan of the Garmin's personally. My current device is a Garmin GPSMAP 64s. It has built in Geocaching support, a large internal memory with the ability to expand with flash memory cards and uses both GPS and GLOSNAS satellite constellations. You're also able to load satellite imagery onto to the device which is always a boon with urban caching.
Other nice features are a barometer for altitude measurements, an internal compass for more accurate headings and the ability to pair it to your device to receive notifications on or report GPS data back to the phone.

Good amount of functionality for the price
For super basic, I was gifted a Bushnell backtrack 5 years ago. For a super simple GPS it works well. It is a bit large but I haven't seen newer ones and they might have been slimmed down. But looking at the amazon link they look big still.
As a fellow nerd I hate the fact that you cannot see the actual coordinates. And it will only guide you to pre-marked waypoints. For my model you have to be in the location when you set the waypoint.
Other than that I like having a backup that takes AAAs.

That should get you started. You can either call or chat with them. I've looked online, and can't find any specific instructions to disable just the cell-tower GPS functionality, so hopefully Samsung has an answer for you. Just tell them you need to disable the ability for GPS to base its position off cell towers, because you need to record your positional data for work, and it has to be as exact as possible.
Worst case scenario, get yourself something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNS73XN It would have no way to connect to a cell power, and would thus be more accurate positionally than AGPS can be. You could also point to that as proof that you're not doing anything intentional, and perhaps even suggest your company supply others (and reimburse you) in order to ensure everyone has the most accurate data possible.
Nice. Is it this one here?

Ah. No, I was not relying on my survival skills. I hiked a few miles in one direction, turned around, hiked back passed my car, passed where I would eventually set up camp, and a couple of miles in the other direction, then back. So I hiked 10+ miles, but ended up not far from where I started.
I was learning natural navigation methods. Sun, trees, etc., but had a compass and very simple GPS as backup.
I was looking for edible plants, or to do some fishing, but I had food and water with me.
I was intending to make a campfire, but had a portable stove.
It was only when I was to go to sleep that I felt unprepared.
Of course! I was looking at the Garmin InReach SE+, it's a locator beacon, and can also send two-way text messages. Here's a link: Garmin inReach SE+ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRZ9ATL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Mzyzzb43J0QQY
Contour roam3: http://contour.com/cameras/roam3
Good quality can be found for around $100. I like cameras that are flush with my helmet.
I have been eyeing the new Garmin Virb Ultra 30
Pricey though, and it's more of a box like the GoPro. Not sure yet...
My friend recommend me one from Amazon. It will be attached to a clamp, 2 screw to adjust width maybe fit for all phones. The material seems like a sturdy metal. I'm going to buy.

For anyone facing a similar problem locating your children buy one of these, put it inside of a stuffed animal and mail it to the P.O. Box.
Some early customer reviews

Here's a refurb Garmin with Lifetime Maps and Traffic. https://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Drive-60LMT-GPS-Navigator/dp/B077JJSL3V Then with that out of the way, you can focus on replacing your stereo. Go to Crutchfield, anything from Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC, Sony, Alpine will have Bluetooth. If you aren't interested in retaining OnStar, you don't have to. Just pull the OnStar fuse from the fusebox to get rid of the red light in the mirror. You will need a smart harness as recommended by Crutchfield at checkout to reproduce retained accessory power (RAP) and door chimes.
Found another 2 devices:
This is the GPS I bought a couple of months ago after a 10 year absence from the hobby. It's pretty great and definitely a step up from my old Garmin.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWL9AR4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I like having a GPS instead of the smartphone because it has maps and caches loaded onto it.
GPSMAP64 $200. Get free (and legal) 4k topo maps here
Its not the cheapest per se. But it is a no frills water resistant GPS with great reception.
I don't recommend a GPS compass. Use a real one instead. They are like 1oz and $5.
Garmin Rino 750. Is it weird I put it on my wedding registry? Was hoping my dad and uncles who I hunt with would see it, chuckle, and then go in on it together and but it. :)
