I personally really like my Xiaomi Mi Band. It's much cheaper than many alternatives (Apple Watch, Wear OS devices) at <$50USD for the most current model. I get notifications pushed from my phone, step tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep detection, among other things. Battery life is multiple weeks and it's waterproof (not sure to what pressure).
It's not as customizable as I'd like, but Notify for Mi Band[0] helps a lot. For example, I'm able to connect my watch to Home Assistant so I can use watch controls for my smart home devices.

- dirtyid 4y agoThis, low effort Chinese smart band/watchess with 2-3 week battery life that does 80% works well for my use case. Upgraded to a huawei GT because it has 1 physical short cut button I use to pull up media controls. IMO that's really what's missing, a simple band with 4-6 programmable buttons.
- michaelmior 4y agoAgreed. Thats really what I want. Something with hood battery life and some buttons that I can program via Tasker. That said, I think the market for such a device is fairly small. Most users will want something that works well out of the box.
