Only original Bip and then successor Bip S have battery life measured in weeks, the new versions with fancy displays have already crap battery life. In my country none of the old two is sold anymore. I don't really care for health monitoring (i need smart watch only to get and read notifications), it measures heart rate, sleep, steps, sleep is quite accurate, the others can't say.

I remember there is now basically rebranded Bip with different firmware sold under different name (Bangle.js 2 or some other unknown chinese models), but nothing improved in last few years for low price in compact body. Everything else like those Casio or Garmin watch with good displays and battery life or LILYGO TTGO T-Watch-2020 are like 15mm, more than 50% ticker than original Bip.
