[SignedAdam]

@linustecktips - Try the “Garmin Vivoactive 3 music” it gets notifications on time, it lasts 8 days, it has Garmin pay (NFC) it has the ability to store your music on it, it has Spotify and a few others, it has more watch faces, it has gps for runs, if you turn off Wi-fi, and Bluetooth sync for notifications it will last an extra 2 days, it has an always on display and a backlight that turns on when you move your wrist! Heart rate and sleep track, water proof, Try it! 

 

(This is a response to Linus, hopefully someone in staff will show him, then he can experience a real smart watch, I’m sure he would appreciate it)

 

* If anyone else has a smart watch that addresses all of linus’s concerns, welcome to add it in the comments below, I just felt like defending the smart watch market

Might be worth considering, although I'd say that Garmin watches tend to be fitness devices first, and everything else second.  Great if that's just what you're looking for, of course.

 

There are rumors Apple will add sleep tracking to either Series 5 or Series 6, although I can't imagine Linus carrying an iPhone just to use one of those.  The Apple Watch is one of the reasons I keep an iPhone, it's just that much better than other smartwatches in most respects.
