Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

I really want to get onboard the smart watch thing, but my usual daily wear watch for the last decade or so has been a Casio protrek prg-550, which is solar powered so I haven’t even had to change a battery in all that time, let alone worry about charging it, so I really kind of don’t want to switch to something I have to remember to charge every day or every couple of days
I’ve had a Mi band that lasted for 2 weeks.
Now I upgraded to a Garmin with Solar that lasts around 3 weeks or more depending on sun.
Yeah, there are definitely a few options that have better battery life than others, but so far none of them have quite put the whole package together for me, I’m a bit picky about what software and interface I want, what kind of features and options, and most importantly I want it to look good.
The Garmin is pretty close to what I’m looking for, and has some nifty features, but after all these years wearing my protrek I’m kind of looking for something a little dressier looking for my EDC watch. The Garmin would probably be a pretty good fit for my camping and hiking and such needs, which is a main reason I got the protrek years ago, but isn’t quite what I’m looking for in my day-to-day life right now
Dumb question - would the Garmin clock with Solar charge much if you mostly spend your day indoors?
If it’s in direct sunlight, e.g. near a window, it will charge quite a bit.
Otherwise not really.
I place mine near the window from time to time
