i personally don’t find smart watches interesting or really that useful (to me). I tried out a samsung watch for a while and had fun making my own watch faces but that’s about it. Charging it every few days was a pain. I ended up going back to my trusty Casio F-91W. Super thin, 8-10 year battery life, alarm and stopwatch built in. Not much more I need from a device on my wrist.
The Xiaomi Mi Band 8 and Huawei Band 8 are rather nice watches that do essentially the same thing as the very expensive smart watches for about $40 and they last about 2 weeks
Didn’t mean to get you so riled up, was just expressing an opinion. If you like your Garmin that’s awesome I’m happy for you! Most of the cool features you talk about i can get from my smart phone so I don’t need that in a watch, but it sounds like we live very different lives and what I need in a wrist watch is not what you need

No smartwatch will appeal to me util it last a full week at LEAST.
This daily charging for a watch is insanity.

PineTime lasts a whole week with the current firmware

They’re just sharing their opinion on a public forum, keep it civil.
No need to be confrontational.
Yeah, let’s not attempt to paint any watch as a survivalist and hiking tool that needs regular charging, otherwise it stops.
Nobody survived in the wilderness before smart watches.
