I enjoyed my pebble time, but I think I'll steer clear of this until it's out based on history.

Really enjoying ditching the smartwatch and using a Citizen solar/atomic analog, which should go 10+ years without needing a new battery. Really tired of remembering to charge it when traveling, and buzzing notifications on a smartwatch wasn't a interruption I need.

i mean you can turn notifications off (unless it's really fucking terrible), and my $80 xiaomi smart band 8 lasts more than a week with my settings, and in power saving mode (which is just time and step counting) it doubles my battery life.
