It's always good to remember that battery life in sports watches (aren't they smart?) can last a whole week, and some models even have complementary solar charging.


I have a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar. The Solar feature is more of a gimmick, unless youre out in the sun the whole day for weeks it doesnt really make a difference.

But it doesnt matter much, the battery lasts 3 weeks. Its a great watch if you like the old-style digital watch screens


Just a week? I have a USB smartwatch with a 1 year battery life, the Timex Data Link USB.


You can also use a "dumb" watch that has 10 years battery life.


Or that constantly charges with a solar face or mechanical motion.


You can get a Rolex


In my case it’s just a Citizen chronograph from eBay for $100.


A Casio 5610 also charges with sunlight. To me it is the ultimate watch.


Sure, but I was talking in the context of smart watches that have several health sensors.


Xiaomi mi band's 10 battery lasts a week with all the functions enabled at the most expensive setting
