There are a truck loaf of cheap Chinese smartwatches, and not all of them are crap, so that might also be options, though the software usually is mediocre at best. But be SURE to find some review you find trustworthy before buying, unless you want to risk getting one of the many crappy ones.

On Huawei, if you are on Ios it is one thing, but Android banned their app two years ago, so you would have to do an insecure sideload. And given how many western governments shun Huawei in their countries’ networks, you would have to consider if you would like to sideload from Huawei. I had a (nice) band 7 I gave up for that exact reason… Last I checked (it is a good while back) Huawai’s app was still available in the aPple store.

The way things have gone I don’t think I would recommend an WearOS device to anyone these days. If you really need Spotify control I’d say look into one of the Amazfit devices, if you don’t need music control then I’d say look into the Xiaomi/Mi Band 7

Honor band 5i. The only thing missing is spotify control but it is very cheap. It also has sleep tracker and blood oxygen measurement

Ticwatch Pro 5. I’m getting 2.5+ days on this thing, only putting it in theater mode when I sleep. Plus it charges to full faster than any other watch I’ve owned. Candidly, I’ve had three other Ticwatches, so I’m stubborn. I’ve stayed clear of Samsung since they went to Tizen, but I hear the battery is shotty now that they’re back on wear OS.

If you want to save money Ticwatch Pro 3 is decent, but I’d say 1.5 days is realistic.

Essential Mode is a lifesaver if you’re stuck with no charger (remote camping/hiking for example). Still keeps track of essential metrics and tells the time.

Thank you for your recommendation! I hadn’t heard of this brand so I’ll start looking into them!

I had a Miband 6 that did all that with no trouble, cost me like $40. It’s about 2 years old at this point and still works. I gave it to my sister when I upgraded to a Galaxy Watch 4 last June (found a deal where it was just for $100). She’s using it now when she goes out. You can get rugged style bands for it. I think the latest Miband is the Miband 8 now.

Can you suggest me best smart watch in affordable price?
Which watch should I buy a smart watch or a normal watch?
I personally recommend normal watch.

Don’t get me wrong. I understand that having one tools for everything really is practical and it saves a lot of spaces. But again, do you really need to know every notification, every time? If not, then go for normal watch. Life is crowded enough already with notifications from smartphones. Normal watch tells us one thing only, time. And sometimes, that is the only thing we need to know.
