I have a Huawei Watch which is round, all-black and has a black steel band [0]. It fits in at work or basically any social situation. I ended up building my own watch face, which is quite subtle and mostly black. Mainly bought it because it was the first round one I liked (round, without 'flat tire' LCD).

Primarily use for seeing my agenda and message notifications, and to see the time.

Hmm that's not a bad looking watch.

I may have to look into it when someone shuts off the servers and forces my functional Pebble to take its Long Walk..

Although that looks like an LED face, which probably means bunk battery life..

It's AMOLED. I can get somewhere between 1.75 and 2.75 days, depending on how much I actively use it (and presumably, how much my movements cause the full face to light up). According to Watchmaker, my face has an OPR [1] of 5.5% bright, and 1.3% dim (idle) mode, and I leave it in 'always on' mode (where it is in the 'dim' mode most of the time). If you use a watchface with more stuff on the screen, battery decreases. If you change the face to turn off instead of dim, you get a lot more.

I've never had trouble getting through a full day and most days it has 50-60% left. If I'm not wearing it, I stick it on the charger (magnetic) which is always sitting beside my bed. I will say if I travelled a lot, the extra hassle of worrying about charging it and not forgetting/losing the charger would probably make me not bother with it, but I only am away for more than a night a handful of times a year (and either bring the charger, or wear a different non-smart watch).

Thank you for providing this extra detail..

I do travel enough that I would need to bring the charger with me it sounds..

But yeah so far it's one of the nicer looking smart watches I've seen aside from my Pebble..
