Tried various smartwatches and the problems always came down to one thing: battery.
Some of the watches batteries last a few days or a week but the screen remains dark and to see time you have to touch the screen our flip your wrist which gets on my nerves.
Now wearing a regular watch and each time I look at the time I'm in awe of the miracle of seeing the time displayed clearly.
When they come up with a watch that can keep the screen lit for at least a week without recharge I'll reconsider...
I have a withings scan watch. Battery life is 25+ days. My original one, which hubby now wears, has a battery life of over 30 days but doesn't record spo2. Both are water resistant up to 5 ATM, sapphire glass face and an analog watch face with a small, touch less, digital display. I will never not have a hybrid watch again.
