Amazfit - Bip U Pro

Only thing I've found close is an Amazfit Bip U and it was actually far cheaper but still really nice. They don't make them anymore but they use a transreflective lcd I believe and have a 30 day battery life. There was also a pretty good jailbreaking scene behind them too. Plenty of custom app stuff. Unfortunately they don't make these anymore, and new ones suck. Could probably find one online somewhere but I've gone through 2 of them. The build quality isn't good Edit- Bip not hip

Amazfit BIP was very nice. Still miss that MIP screen. Had BIP U Pro, T-rex Pro, T-rex 2 and their screen wasn't nice as BIP's MIP. And yes, Garmin is years ahead of Amazfit in terms of software..

I am using Amazfit Bip U pro which I got refurb from Amazon, works nice.

Kinda regretting getting the round early. I'm used to the square Bip and this feels sexy.

Bip s. I literally bought a backup unit because it's so cheap and so good

As someone who has used a good amount of the alternatives, I fall under the case of nothing really beats a Pebble. Wear OS is still an unstable mess imo and feels too much like just a phone on my wrist. The Pebble actually feels like an extension of my phones abilities but not overwhelmingly so. Plus, you can make your own apps for it if you are into it. The BangleJS2 and Bip are some alternatives but I didn't enjoy them anywhere near as much. A readable screen, you are looking at e-ink or the e paper we get on the Pebble, Bangle, Bip, JS, Fossil HR (I believe that is what they called their hybrid) and I believe some Garmin watches, though they fall into the category of I haven't used them. The battery life is the killer feature on the Pebble to me. Though the Bangle and Bip have great battery, the pebble just did more with it to me. The ability to reply is nice but a touch screen only was a deal-breaker for most watches nowadays. The buttons are really nice when I need them like when wearing gloves for work. I'm excited for my Time 2, and have my Time Steel on while I wait. I took off my Ticwatch Pro 3 and it has sat with getting put on the charger once a month to keep the battery from just stopping from working. If you have concern, grab a used time for cheap if you can and use it for a bit. Don't like it? Cancel your preorder and you can find something you do.

Amazfit. I think the worst you'll get is 5-7 days with everything enabled, most will do 10+, and some 20+ days with a mix of features enabled. They all have really good screens, the newer ones have better features like enhanced notifications with images, ability to reply to messages with voice or typing, built in AI assistant The Active 2 is often on sale, there's also the Active 2 Premium which adds sapphire glass screen and NFC for contactless payments, then there's the Balance and Balance 2 for basically every feature with a bigger screen and battery, they do the Active 2 square if you prefer that, they also do the Bip range for cheaper square ones. It does depend on what features you want, they aren't WearOS so you can't get the same range of 3rd party apps and watch faces, but there's still quite a few out there. Personally I prefer them as they run smoothly, have good battery, and are generally smaller than WearOS Watches.
