Something like the Amazfit Bip? https://www.amazfit.com/en/bip https://www.amazfit.com/en/bip

> 45-day battery life Wow, that's probably the first time an always-on electronic device actually surpassed my Nokia 6310's 21-day battery life in the last two decades. It's really hard to imagine a cellphone charge lasting for three weeks today. How far we've come :P

  You get 60 days with the much more expensive Vertix 2 and that also has an always on display https://www.coros.com/vertix2 https://www.coros.com/vertix2 I have the Coros Pace, so can vouch for their battery life claims. I get between one and two weeks between charges, depending how much I use the GPS.

    Didn't know about Vertix either. Great!

  The garmin instinct 2 solar has the same screen tech as the pebble or an old nokia and NEVER needs to be charged.

I returned my amazfit bip almost immediately. It's too dim with the backlight off and looks like a toy with the backlight on. If you look for photos of real life usage you'll see what I mean. The wyze watch blew me away in terms of looks and battery life (especially considering the price), they must be selling at a loss. However I'm also not a fitness junkie so I don't use the watch heavily and can't report on how useful the watch actually is

  Actually I don't use the Pebble for fitness. I like having the weather, calendar, location, and sunrise/moon phase (though that depends on the watch face).

  Did you have the Bip (which iirc hasn't been sold officially for over a year now) or the Bip U/Bip Pro? The OG Bip screen is much more reflective. Here's an image of my Bip - https://i.imgur.com/DBzoDp5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DBzoDp5.jpg

    That does look better than the display I remember. Though if you check out real life photos of the Wyze Watch I think you might be surprised at the quality
