Also the Pixel Watch is being announced today. It's got some interesting design compared to the other two main smartwatches on the market (Apple and Samsung).

Personally, it being circular with a curvy screen appeals to my watch aesthetic sense.

I like the round design (I used to own the original Moto360) but those bezels are massive. The actual screen on it is a really small part of the surface area.

Shame that they said it's a "24h" battery life device. My old Fitbit lasts something like a week. I wish these more advanced watches had battery life closer to a week than a day. It would be a hassle to charge it every day.

Fitbit inspire 3 is probably your device. 10 days of battery life, $100 price point, and has basic features of a smart watch

I have to charge my Apple Watch every night and I don't think that's a hassle. You get used to it.

I sleep with my watch, I charge it for ~1hr every day at 11am->12pm while I'm at my computer (reminders to start/end charging handle everything I need).

Personally I think I almost prefer charging "daily" because with my old Pebble watch it would last 2-4 days or so and since I wasn't in the habit I would always get caught with low battery. Even if the watch lasted a week I'd probably still charge nearly daily (maybe skip the charge if I'm not at my desk or on the weekend).
