  I really really like my Garmin Instinct 2. It a kind of hybrid but between old digital clock and smartwatch, instead of analog.
  It has strong Casio Pro Trek vibes. One color, no touch LCD screen. Solar charging, more than 3 weeks battery life, GPS, all health sensors and smart stuff.

    I had a garmin vivomove hr. The idea behind it was pretty neat, but it was too annoying to keep charged.

  I feel like withings cornered the market on hybrids. They are a little pricey but they are built very well.

    Yea they’re pretty much the only brand still.

    I liked my garmin vivomove, it was pretty nice despite some clunkiness (the one I bought was early on)

    I’d like to try one, but I feel like I might end up not using it often or just not liking it

      My problem is I just don’t really like wearing watches. I want to, I like watches and I like having the time on me without getting distracted by my phone. But I just can’t find a comfortable band, I don’t like tight shirt cuffs either.
