I have a Samsung watch 6. But I dunno... I'm feeling like I wanna worry less about charging devices recently. And this Casio F 105 W looks great and was cheap.

The only non-watch thing I want from my smartwatch is to replace my phone's ringer. I get notifications as a vibration on my wrist instead of a sound.

I dream of having a watch that just does that without all the body-tracking mumbo jumbo. I dont need to know my blood's oxygen level, and I certainly dont want my watch to have GPS capabilities.

Edit: I need to specify that I've only owned Chinese watches/smartbands with more than 20 days battery life. Having to charge a watch every day sounds ludicrous to me.

I'm sure that someone, somewhere has made a Bluetooth gizmo that vibrates on calls.

Yup, they appear to be out there.
