I have this one.

Works great. Not many features but the O2 monitoring is nice. Battery life is great.

I've by using my wyze watch for a few months now and although it's been great, I do have a small complaint. The bands that come with it are kind of weak. I have already snapped two. Word to the wyze, buy a watchband somewhere else.

I liked the idea of a smart watch, and really liked the gear watch that I had. Loved the hardware dial and custom faces. Had one which told me everything I needed to know and included buttons to everything I might want to know. Was awesome.

Unfortunately watches in general poke the back of my hand and cause a sore spot. I thought I just needed to get used to it, but it just got progressively worse and even turned into a visible bump after about 6 months.

So haven't tried it again.

Similar thing happened to me with my old gear watch to point that the first thing I do when I sit down at my desk for work is take my watch off. This wyze watch has been a lot more comfortable. I can even sleep with it on, which was never an option before.
 
Last band for my cheapo Fitbit clone broke so I got a Galaxy watch 4 and I really enjoy it. Works real well with my pixel, first and only watch with wearos 3 which I really like.
 
I got sick of charging my watch, so I'm just using a G-shock "Casioak" now.
 
Also got my Folex

FWIW, I still enjoy my Samsung Watch 4, only reason I might replace it with a Pixel watch when the time comes is the google-assistant integration. It is not available on the Samsung which has the stupid Bixby thing. I am not sure how important an assistant is on a smart-watch, I am not certain the use case is there - but I do use it on my phone every once in a while.
 
BTW, greatest feature of the wearOS smart watches for me is the navigation integration for older cars. With the new cars, android auto gives you navigation on the screen. With my old cars, it is not available and I need to use the phone at times. It is a lot nicer to see the instructions coming on the watch as you do not need to move your eye sight to look for the phone - it is on your wrist that is holding the steering wheel. Love that feature.
 
I was really excited for the Pixel watch but I've held off because of the battery life. I am waiting for some reviews on that. I picked up the sense 2 and like it for the most part, but it is missing a few things ......... Like Google assistant?! Wtf, how does Google release a product with Alexa support but not Google assistant. Seems beyond stupid to me. The 5 day battery is great, sleep and exercise tracking are awesome, notifications are nice, just needs some maps and Google assistant
 
My bro got the pixel watch so he's giving me the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. I don't like these generally because I hate having to charge them. We'll see what's up.
 
I'm still rocking this wyze watch most days but it has some serious limitations.. I bet there will be some Samsung 4 sales this holiday season, maybe I'll just grab one of those. I had the 2 for a long time and it was fine.
 
My new watch is on its way

For the fitness apps. I had no watch since I was a kid, I think. But as I age, I find the fitness app really helpful. Got a cheapo fitbit clone 4 or 5 years ago. It really helped me ensure I do at least 10K steps a day as a minimum.

Once my cheapo fitness thing ran out of bands and I got the Samsung I found that I really like the heartrate functionality - helps me to try and keep a heartrate of 145 for several minutes to ensure I work properly. And as I said, once you get these smart watches, the other apps can be really nice. Navigation for my old cars is such a great feature over smartphone navigation.

Another thing that I find helpful - the reminder to move if you have been sitting for a while - which can happen to me in front of a computer. It is really a nice tool for some stuff. The fact that it has a watch face on it has about as much application as the phone functionality of a smart phone. You use it sometimes, but it is not the real reason we use it anymore.
