Alternatives worth comparing
NewApple Watch Series 11
Best smartwatch for most iPhone owners; still ~18hr battery, so nightly charging remains the gripe.
Apple Watch Ultra 3
Multi-day battery and rugged build; only worth the premium if you actually hike, dive or train hard.
NewGoogle Pixel Watch 4
Cleanest Wear OS + Fitbit health; battery and repairability are the trade-offs.
