Lol. Just buy a Seiko.
I recently gave up on my smart watch and bought a nice automatic watch instead. I spent double what I paid for my Fossil watch, but my new one looks better, and will almost certainly still work in 10 years.
I realized I didn’t need another device to receive the same notifications on. I only slightly miss the heart rate and step tracking.
Withings watches really hit that sweet spot of no notification smart watch that lasts a month on battery but still tracks your sleep and heart rate.
My smart watch actually annoyed me, and I went back to the Mi band.
It’s the perfect balance. I get the time; heart, spo2, and sleep tracking; good battery life; notification viewing; phone call viewing…
It’s like a debloated smart watch, and it’s perfect.
Same. I first rolled back to simple Casio watch but then settled on fitbit band.
I got a Garmin Fenix 7X at very deep discount and love it. It’s not as “smart” as my Galaxy Watch was, but I only charge at most twice a month and it has a built in flashlight
Yeah, that won’t happen. My Falster had battery for a third of the day. Then google stopped supporting it with Assistant. Now I have a “smart”-watch that isn’t smart and even worse than a normal watch. Then I heard googles watches are shitty too. I just won’t buy android watches anymore.
That’s Falsters fault. Ticwatch is the same. They need to update to wearOS 3, and they aren’t. Don’t blame Google because your watch manufacturer is garbage.
Oh I totally blame falster for this. I just won’t buy shitty wear os devices anymore since this seems to be a pattern. Can’t repair, won’t update, falls apart. I don’t care if it’s google, falster or anyone else: I don’t need expensive non working devices that can’t be fixed.

“BUY ANOTHER ONE YA RICH MOTHERFUCKA” - Google
Maybe the next one won’t fall apart and force you to buy the next one after that! (Just kidding, it totally will.)
Garmin. Instinct.
Easily the most sustainable smart watch imo
How so?
Will basically never get outdated
Built like a tank
Battery lasts for 14 days in the basic models, solar models can last for 30 days easy
Don’t know about repairability but by the time it breaks you’ll definitely want a newer model anyway

Drop the last requirement and Garmin watches got you covered. Mine can do canned text responses and I can use hands free voice commands with my phone if I need more.

Huawei watches tick all those boxes except replying to texts. Two week battery though
I have a Muji doubletour but it’s a watch of Theseus at this point since I’ve had the clockwork replaced, and the wristband replaced with a hand-sewn replica. I love it.
People still use wrist watches? 🤭 Joking joking …
