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..

I still wear my Apple Watch Series 0 since 2015 now. Love it. I replaced the battery this spring. All good again.
They all annoy the shit out of me.
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
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 am very happy with my Skagen Jorn gen 6 hybrid. Hybrid means both e-ink screen and physical watch hands. It has a few health sensors, can display notifications, track workouts, send commands to Alexa if you want that, and much more. It's simply an awesome smartwatch in a classic inconspicuous design, and it has a hopping 5 weeks battery life, and it's supported by Gadgetbridge. Nothing can beat it in my opinion.
Coros Pace 2. Cheaper than the entry level Garmin and just as capable.
Has anyone tried the current Ticwatch Pro? I heard decent things about the previous model but I'm a bit leery of the their app on my phone, plus that they are still pending a WearOS update and various features (Google assistant etc)
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'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 loved Wear OS from Fossil before I switched to Linux phone.
