Watch with great battery life

Lost my s4 watch recently, looking for a new smart watch. All I want is good bettery life ( charge once in 3 days or more even better ) and track basic stuff like steps and workout. Even gifted my father a s6 classic but battery life isn’t great so no more samsung. Phone is Android so no apppe to.

Was thinking about the one plus watch 2? Got one plus 11 phone

Budget around £250, will stretch another 100 if worth it.

How important are rich notifications? Most long-lasting smart watches has pretty basic notification support.

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar has up to 28 days and “unlimited” battery life if you use it in the sun for 3 hours a day according to their own specs. It doesn’t have a touch screen, in case that’s something you consider important.

DC Rainmaker on YouTube has some videos on it.

I love my garmin instinc Crossover. 15-16 days of charge if you take the solar one it’s even more.

It look like a Gshock as well.

I wear a Garmin Forerunner 55 (left arm), connected to my work iPhone. Don’t wear it at night. Lasts me 5-6 days.

I like how it has a permanent display, so I can quickly glance at it with enough light. There is a backlight, but it does not always work when I want it to. It also warns me when I am too far away from my iPhone.

I also wear a Fitbit Versa 3 (right) connected to my private Android phone. I wear it almost all the time, except when swimming in sea water. I have the display off by default, so not permanently on.

I like how the (silent) alarm works and can be easily set on the phone, like on my old Pebble smartwatches. I also like how I can read it at night (by tapping the display). I often charge it around the same time as my Garmin, but it then still has 40-55% left.

Both can be used with an iPhone (or Android.)

I choose both over AmazFit, for not being Chinese brands.

I would suggest finding smart watch that do not have audio or call feature. Usually that feature eat tons of battery. I used to have amazfit gtr,which last about 14 days. Right now they have amazfit gtr 3 if not mistaken. Right now I’m wearing mibrro GS (under xiomi as well),it battery can last me about 3 weeks.
