Some Garmin and Fitbit models have good battery life — often about a week.

I have worn both the original Fitbit Charge HR and the more recent Charge 2 daily for the past few years. Aneceotally, because the watch isn't really water resistant (not least because the bands bubble if they get wet often), I have had it run out twice in that time and both times I was on holiday somewhere with no power. Because you are unlikely to actually wear it in the shower, just leave the charger permanently in your bathroom and get in the habit of taking it off and putting it on the charger when you shower. Even if you forget for one or two days it will almost always be sufficiently charged.

What we need is a Seiko Kinetic with HR.

Watch out for the Withings watches, I bought the generation before the HR one and it was rather thick, much thicker than I was expecting, I ended up returning it. I love the style of the Withings watches, but way too thick for me compared to the traditional watches. I'm waiting for the smartwatches to get down in thickness before trying another one.

I'm the type of person that loves watches and doesn't like smart watches. Personally I find them to be too much distraction. I'm more of a G-Shock wearing type of user, although I've owned many Garmins over the years for working out, but none enough to wear daily. That was until the Garmin Instinct [0]. You can easily get 10-15 days out of it depending on how much you work out and use the GPS for tracking. I also don't sleep with a watch on, so it's shut off at night. Anyway, point being the Instinct is just enough "smart" yet rugged enough for daily use. One of my favorite watches I've ever owned.

  I'm much like you- with a new fitbit charge 3. The thing is positively addictive. I still wear a sailing watch for sailing, but for everything else I use the fitbit, especially for heartrate when I work out and for sleep tracking, which seems pretty good). I can go 5 days or so before I recharge it, but I've never let it go until it was dead so I don't know how much I can push it.

I have a Garmin and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's not accurate so it's essentially useless
