18 hours is absurd, IMO. I have a Garmin Instinct Solar that gets up to 24 days of battery life without any solar exposure (there's unlimited battery life with enough exposure unless you use GPS a lot). I get notifications for any phone app I want, plus GPS when I need it and a multitude of fitness tracking, including round the clock heart beat monitoring. I can't use it as a phone or send texts (though I can read them) so I guess that's where it "lags" behind the Apple Watch. I think it's the perfect fitness tracker that's also a rugged watch.
