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.

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.

Wife wanted me to wear my Samsung to our wedding yesterday. Yeah. It was dead after taking it to the camp where we had a cabin. One day, didn't even wear it and it was dead.

And of course it takes a special charger.

I went with a hybrid watch since it doesn't need a new battery for months
