Seconding the Garmin rec - though stay away from new 265/965/Epic, which have the same OLED screen and resultant "shake it all about" and then wait a blink to see the time issue as Pixels and Apple watches, and stick to Fenix/Forerunner x55 MIPS displays for weeks-long battery life with always-on display. And no need to update every 2 years.


I'm currently using a 965 and I love it. That said, I came to it from fitbit so maybe my views are warped.

Generally, just turning over my wrist to look at it works exceptionally well at showing everything, a firm tap works when that doesn't.

The 1 to 2 weeklong battery life is also great.

It's really one of my favorite watches.

My wife has the pixel watch 2 and holy cow does the battery on that thing suck. She never uses the sleep function because the damn thing is empty at the end of every day. Like 14 hours of battery life max in normal usage.
