I'm using a Fossil Hybrid. A nice analog watch with an e-ink display for notifications. https://www.fossil.com/en-gb/products/neutra-gen-6-hybrid-sm...

Same here, been using two Fossil Hybrid smartwatches ever since my Pebble stopped working.

I'm sold on simple smartwatches that only require an e-ink (or whatever it is) screen because they hold a charge for well over a month and still do everything I need from them. Namely show notifications, who's calling, who's messaging, read messages, control music, and some other stuff that is less important.

The app has also improved over the years, even though I'm still pretty sure they sell all my personal data to any bidder. Of course I'd prefer a more self hosted or open approach.

But it's good enough. Currently I'm using a Machine, don't remember the name of the one before it but it was similar, slightly smaller.

They're also supported by Gadgetbridge.
