I don't wear one anymore I just have the Casio f-91w but if I could I would get a Pixel watch and remove all the spy ware from it

Whoop. It’s something I can easily sleep with. I don’t want extra displays and it works with everything like bike computers as a heart monitor. Steps are worthless strain/HRV is more meaningful.

I have a galaxy watch 5 but even 3 days of batteryife is irritating enough I'm looking longingly at the Garmin's. Really don't need a lot of the fluff they come with

I also have a Watchy. The thing is in no way a consumer device but it lasts over a week and the eink display is great. Reminds me of what we lost when pebble went away..

Is it possible to buy the Watchy anywhere anymore? The officially linked site says stock of 0.

I like the way the Apple Watch (non-ultra) looks and functions but the battery life is garbage. It’s almost tolerable brand new but the battery degrades over time and you have to charge more often. No thanks.

I currently use a Garmin forerunner 955. Since I use it for running I charge once a week or so. If you don’t work out and just want metrics, it lasts 2 weeks. I highly recommend Garmin watches

Coros Pace 2. Cheaper than the entry level Garmin and just as capable.

I have a polar vantage m and i like it, it was relatively cheap and has everything one needs when it comes to running

I recently upgraded from a Fenix 3 to a 6x and i love it, which actually makes me use it way more ❤️ Suddenly dropped the idea of trying out mainstream alternatives.

I've had a Garmin vivofit 3 unsmart watch since 2017. I've replaced the band and battery a few times but it's been a pretty good tracker. the watch battery has been a great feature as I don't have to charge it, just replace it once a year or so.

I like fitbit but that’s because I basically strictly use it for calorie counting. The battery life is good enough that I just charge it when I’m in the shower and it’ll never die on me.

I loved Wear OS from Fossil before I switched to Linux phone.
