I don't like analog watches. I wish there was a watch like the basic casio I use but smart, but not huge and rugged like a G-Shock. If pebble releases a modern version of their watch, I might finally buy a smartwatch.

I released a free watch face for the FitBit Versa (pre-Google) which emulated a Casio-style LCD. I can't remember the name, but you can get paid ones which look decent: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azya.fitbit.versa.classicdigitalfaces https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azya.fitbi...

What are you looking for in a smartwatch? Casio has smaller G-Shock smartwatches (not just the giant circular ones) that track your activity, heartrate, etc. But if you want smartphone notifications, then yeah, sadly you are out of luck. I am totally with you overall, though. I feel that if someone were to nail it, it would be Casio.

  The GBD-200 I have can receive notifications.

    What I encountered with smartwatches like the Xiaomi Mi Band, is that they display notifications but their font has a tiny subset of emoji. So when friend send a simple "thumbs up", it displays the Unicode replacement character. How does the Casio do it?

    Is it this one[0]? I saw it earlier, but I didn’t realize it could receive notifications, and the product page doesn’t mention it either. Were you referring to that icon in the top left corner of the display that looks like it could be a notification counter? If yes, then that’s a fair point, but just being able to see the number of notifications is not the same as being able to see notifications (especially since it doesn’t seem like it would even tell you which app the notification is from, let alone what it was). I would love to be corrected in case I am wrong, because it could be entirely possible that I am not even looking at the correct watch. 0. https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GBD-200-1/ https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GBD-200-1/

Sounds like a Garmin Forerunner (255? 265?) with a custom watch face might fit the bill.
