    Garmin vivomove.

    Analog face, and a wee display that tells you whether you want to look at your phone when it buzzes. Counts steps and stuff if you’re into that. Week of battery (still 5-7 days after like 5-6 years of owning mine). Perfect daily wear.

      +1 for Garmin!! I’ve got 2 Fenix watches and they’re so important to me I’d be lost without them.

        The vivomove is my daily, but for many outdoor activities I’d be literally lost without the GPS forerunner!

        Also they seem to be one of the lesser evils for those who care about personal data collection and brokerage.

      I got the Lily, seems like one of the cheaper ones but ditto to pretty much everything you said here!
