I was looking into Pebble watches right before they got bought by Fitbit, was super bummed. Since then I've tried a Garmin (hated the app) and now on my third Apple Watch... I still don't love the Apple Watch and want an alternative. Between having to charge it all the goddamn time and after 10~ years it only having 3 usable watch faces I've been craving an alt. I signed up for the Pebble list - I'm ready. Pebble for every day and going to try out a Coros for fitness.
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been enjoying my Withings watches for fitness tracking and everyday wear as well. They look like a decent, non-smart watch. Battery lasts about a month or so.
Thank you for the rec. I checked them out, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Ideally my watch face will let me see a lot of information related to location and weather. For example, my main Apple Watch face currently shows: a compass, date, time, current temp, the high, the low, the conditions, wind speed and elevation. That's partly why I've stuck with an Apple Watch despite the severe shortcomings
Gotcha. Yeah that’s a different game.
I've been eyeing Amazfit's watches hard, ever since I saw a coworker with one. Wasn't interested in smartwatches before due to all the compromises each one makes but their watches seem like they're actually good from what I can tell.
@CancerMancer @prof_wafflez +1 for #Amazfit I'd certainly have another quote happily. Killed my last one (totally user error).
But I've now realised I never use many of a smartwatch's features so I've gone for one that just does notifications and step count
