GPS running watches from a company that owns its factories
Started in a Lenexa, Kansas office in 1989 and still runs its own plants in Taiwan and Poland, which almost nobody else in sports watches does. Legally Swiss, operationally Kansan, and by its own account it outsources nothing, servicing included. The Forerunner opened the wrist-GPS category in 2003 and still carries it; the warranty is one year.
