Yeah - I envy those with Apple Watches since that's the best one on the market (IMO). I've been waiting to pull the trigger on jumping ecosystems but it's a big change.
Android warning: I've used a Samsung Galaxy smart watch and it was horrible. Messages wouldn't actually notify etc. I used it for a day and never touched it again after spending probably 4+ hours searching forums on how to fix the multiple issues I was having. The breaking point for the Galaxy watch was when I saw people installing dodgy 3rd party apps to get simple stuff like text message notifications working. That experience was bad enough that I have actively been avoiding purchasing Samsung anything, it showed me that they'll ship a buggy product without a second thought.

I can however definitely recommend the Garmin Fenix - I've been wearing a Fenix 3 HR Sapphire for three years now and although it's a VERY simple device (limited colors, very few apps, etc.) it's also very effective. I will go as far to say the simplicity is a feature! It's not as smooth as an experience as the Apple Watch, but it's very solid in comparison to other Android options... It's also insanely durable and something I can work on a car with, go hiking with, etc... it should be WAY more dinged up than it currently is (I attribute this to the whole "sapphire face" thing). I will likely continue to stay in the Android/Garmin ecosystem for the time being.
