A Pebble can go on for a week (longer without smart features enabled). My smartwatch, Fossil Hybrid HR, works for 2 weeks with smart features enabled. They go automatically off with < 10% battery, after which the watch still functions (I would prefer the option to put the smart features off, as well as bluetooth).

I loved the Pebble (RIP), but I got way longer battery life than just 1 week. I now have the Amazfit Bip, and easily get 3-4 weeks of battery life.

    I'm in the market for a new watch as I just ditched the Apple Watch after moving back to Android (LinageOS). Not wanting to be locked in yet again to a watch/phone platform, but not knowing how long before PineWatches were back in stock, I didn't know what to look out for.

    Missing my Pebbles, this looks like an awesome replacement. Thanks for the link!

      See my other reply regarding the limitations of Amazfit Bip. You can also repair Pebbles. Unfortunately, I failed to repair my Pebble 2.

    I got one of those in between. Extremely limited smartwatch capabilities, and I can't put Bluetooth off. Plus without physical buttons. I want physical buttons during commute/travel.
