Forerunner 255 Series
Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I got a vivomove sport. I will say I wish I got it in black instead of white because the white just inherently looks a bit more cheap/you have a harder time finding straps that match and stay clean. But it has traditional hands and doesn't have a digital display til you tap it and I like that. (Plus Garmin has a good track record for smartwatches in general.)
To be honest, I have not looked at the sleep tracking (not something I'm interested in). I've had no trouble with the all-day comfort, even with a slightly bulkier leather-looking 'classic' watchstrap.
I literally can’t live without smartwatch, I’d miss 2/3 of the work calls/msgs, waking up with the smooth vibration instead of a loud alarm makes my mornings so much better (not good lmao, but better) and the sleep monitoring is crucial to me, as I can see better how I’m managing my time and how to fix potential sleep deprivation. I hate screens tho, so a square on my wrist would make me go crazy ahahah so I opted for a garmin vivomove sport, which is a cool hybrid, gives me what I need keeping a nice and clean design.
Garmin Vivomove Sport, because hybrid rokz!
The Forerunner 55 is a great, basic watch. If all you're looking for is sleep, heart rate, steps, and some other basic stuff--plus a better aesthetic--check out the [Garmin vívomove® Sport](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/742133/pn/010-02566-00/#specs).
For awhile I wore a Garmin Vivomove as my main watch for this reason. It had everything I needed except GPS - I was running without my phone at that time because I didn't want to carry it, so I'd switch out to my older, but GPS-enabled, Garmin on runs. Now I run with my phone so a Vivomove would be fine (you can enable your phone's GPS to work with it). Mine looked very much like this one. They have a lot of different colorways. I only stopped wearing it because the early Vivomoves (like, 3rd gen.) had screens that died after two years. I'm sure that's been addressed by now. https://preview.redd.it/7j1ktwiglkdg1.png?width=362&format=png&auto=webp&s=a36d7e96414ae598d28e814fc203086b27d0a538
I have an older Garmin vivo style. I like that it has hands like an analog clock.
