Casio need to market their watches better, they have the Smartest dumbwatch**** of them all -

Casio have several lines that support Bluetooth - essentially will beep and vibrate on Notifications, calls and messages. Does basic fitness tracking. It also does all of this whilst basically being indestructible and a battery life of atleast 3 years.

No one seems to know this and I blame Casios poor marketing - I didn't know any of this until I bought a new G-Shock and realised it had a BT label in the manual.

Casio for sure! Best quality. Made in Japan

While there are a lot of comments saying Garmin, I haven't seen people mention the privacy aspect

Garmin apps are much better for privacy. If I'm going to be wearing a biometric tracker 24/7, I don't want that data being sold to advertisers. That's more important to me than most other features

There's only one smart watch that matters! This was the boyo!

All my phone numbers, my entire school lesson schedule, a calculator - everything 10 year old me ever needed!
