Taking after Papa! Prince George debuts Garmin smartwatch in birthday video as he follows in the footsteps of William who is rarely seen without his Omega

His father is rarely seen without his favourite watch, and now Prince George appears to be following in his footsteps after debuting a Garmin in his birthday video yesterday.In light of the future king becoming a teenager, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a video of George climbing rocks, playing cricket and frolicking around the beach during the family's Easter holiday to Cornwall.And in one moment, the 13-year-old revealed his watch, which appears to be the £569.99 Garmin D2 Air X15, a brand recognised for its GPS, durability, and advanced biometric tracking features, indicating that, much like his parents, he's particularly fond of the great outdoors.The model, the D2 Air X15, is described as being 'for those with a passion for flight'. The website reads: 'Our D2 Air X15 smartwatch is the ideal blend of pilot-oriented tools and modern smartwatch design.'Fly through your day with GPS Direct-to navigation, aviation weather information, a powerful built-in LED flashlight, voice commands and multiple health/fitness features.'The watch also allows its owners to take calls from their wrist when paired with their smartphone, although that's a feature George will likely not be using just yet, given his parents' strict ban on mobile phones.While William has also worn a Garmin before, his prized possession, which he is believed to never leave home without, is the £5,600 Omega Seamaster Professional.The treasured accessory worn by the prince for over a decade was a gift from his mother, the late Princess Diana. Prince William (pictured in Saudi Arabia in February) is frequently seen with his favourite Omega watch - and Prince George appears to be following in his footsteps Prince George sported the watch in a video shared yesterday in light of his 13th birthdayThe watch, which he wore on the day of his wedding to Kate and other milestone events, is a 300m mid-size classic quartz model with a stainless steel case and blue dial.William's Omega features a chronometer, a uni-directional rotating bezel, a screw-in crown and a helium escape valve - making it an extraordinarily accurate and reliable timepiece to have on his person.Elsewhere in the video yesterday, George was filmed clambering over the rocks barefoot, stroking one of the Waleses' dogs while on the beach, enjoying a boat ride and waving and smiling at the camera as he sported the stylish £157 Raen sunglasses he wore to Wimbledon.The 18-second clip accompanied a message on the Prince and Princess of Wales's social media reading: 'Thank you for all the birthday wishes for George today!'Earlier in the day, William and Kate released a new photograph of George to mark his teenage milestone.It showed the future King George VII wearing a suit after Trooping the Colour last month and was issued by his parents on their social media accounts with the message: 'Happy 13th birthday, George!'The picture was taken at Kensington Palace by one of the couple's favourite and most trusted photographers, Matt Porteous, and marks an important new stage in the young royal's life.In September, George will become a boarder at Eton College, marking the start of his senior school experience. The Garmin watch (pictured) includes 'a powerful built-in LED flashlight, voice commands and multiple health/fitness features,' the website readsHe is set to follow in the footsteps of his father, Prince William, who met some of his best friends at the school.It will be the first time since 2019 that George has attended school without at least one of his two siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.At the same time, William and Catherine have continued to guide their eldest son along a controlled path to public life, with George undertaking a small but increasing number of official engagements each year.He was last seen at Wimbledon with his family earlier this month but is unlikely to be seen in public again until he starts school in the autumn.George, who is the eldest of the Wales children with younger siblings Charlotte, 11, and Louis, eight, was first introduced to the world when his parents stepped out of the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London with him in their arms.Dressed in a summery powder blue frock, Catherine glowed as she and William revealed their first child, George Alexander Louis, to the world.Royal fans couldn't believe how 'grown up' George looked in his latest birthday photo, with X users writing: 'What do you mean he's officially a teenager?!'One person added: 'A teenager at last! Wishing Prince George a very Happy 13th Birthday! I hope he had [sic] a wonderful day, surrounded by his amazing family and friends.'Fans echoed the same sentiment after George joined the Royal Family to mark his grandfather, King Charles's official birthday at Trooping the Colour last month.They gushed he is 'growing up so fast' as George looked poised and confident while waving to crowds during the carriage ride to Buckingham Palace alongside his mother, sister, Charlotte, and younger brother, Louis.
