    Smartwatches. Seriously, they are all working perfect one day, and next day they die. Wanna change the battery? Good luck keeping them out of the water, if you happen to find and replace the battery at all, which isn’t cheap anyway.

      I’ve had a good experience with my Apple Watch. It’s the first model that ever came out and it’s almost a decade old. The battery lasts only 75% of a day now but I think ten years is a good life for it.

      Pebble seems to be headed in a good direction ever since it got bought back by the original founder.

        I wish. It’s the only smartwatch I’d buy after some awful experiences. Well, the Pebble and little better version is the PineTime.

      I’m perfectly happy with my Amazing Bip watch. It keeps track of my steps and sleep, and links to my phone so that it will buzz if I get a call or text.

      It’s about 7 years old now, and still gets almost a month of regular use on a single charge.

        I did own an Amazfit model, the battery was dead suddenly after less than two years. A full charge wouldn’t last a week.

          I think that the Bip was the battery life champion. I checked sometime in the past year, and I think Amazfit watches typically lasted between 1 and 2 weeks.
