Look, I'm an idiot. I know that, you know that, and the man on the moon knows that. Let's not get into why I'm an idiot; let's just accept that I have my peculiarities and you have yours. My idiocy is a quest to make sure all my portable electronics can recharge using USB-C. Modern smartwatches are tiny and they do a lot. As a consequence, their battery life is generally poor. The industry's…
On a side note I wish hybrid smartwatches were still a thing. Most of the product lines are discontinued, but I liked the idea of it.
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.
Garmin makes excellent watches
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.
