Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

    dumb watch. I really just need a quick glance at the time and date mostly when I can’t (or don’t want to) whip my phone out.

    No batteries, kinetic powered, waterproof, cheap.

    Some smartwatches have features I might be interested in (offline GPS tracking) but not at the price I’m willing to pay. Still waiting for prices to drop more.

    And aside from Garmins and other high end dedicated expedition/marathon watches, everything else’s battery life just seems like crap. Like if I ever leave home for a single night I’ll have to pack a charger? That’s terrible.

      Check out Amazfit Bip smartwatch series. I’ve had one for 4 years, the battery lasts 3-4 weeks and it cost about 40-50$ when I bought it.
