Is the Garmin inreach explorer worth the money?

Hey all,
First post.
I'm looking for a PLB to take with me on my walks and occasional motorbike rides.
I've got a 5 year old phone with a battery life of less than a day during normal usage, so GPS and maps are an issue, I'm about to pull the trigger on an Inreach Explorer. But at $650 I'm a little hesitant.
Reviews seem great, i especially like
+ 2 way chat
+ SOS
+ GPS and TOPO maps.
Is there anything similar that offers that sort of functionality that I should compare?
