Huawei GT 2
Although it was released in late 2019, the Huawei GT 2 still makes a strong case for itself in 2023. It has a stylish traditional design, a fitness focus, and a long battery life, just like the newer GT 3 below. Huawei claims it has a two-week battery life, depending on how you use it. (and the smaller 42mm model gets about half as much). Even with heavy use, it should last about a week, which is far better than some of the competitors on this list. When it comes to toughness, it's water and dust resistant, and it can also handle swim tracking.
However, it has a few drawbacks when compared to the other watches on this list, including the fact that it runs LiteOS rather than Google's WearOS. This means that it lacks Google apps and is unable to accept contactless payments. You will like the sleek design and clear display, but it isn't as smart as other watches on this list. It can send you notifications, but there aren't many ways to interact with them. They'd recommend this as a budget smartwatch for beginners, but those looking for more features to pair with an Android phone have more advanced options to choose from.
