Hello, I'm looking for a smartwatch for my grandma and I'm not so familiar with the smartwatch brands. So can you please recommend to me by considering features they should have:
Its interface has to be simple,
It has to be waterproof,
It should be able to count steps and measure pulse and
Its battery life should be relatively long.

I'm waiting for your suggestions, thanks from now.

Does she actually need a full-on smartwatch or would a simple fitness tracker not be more appropriate?

 

You could get something like a FitBit Inspire or Charge, for example.

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Yes also fitness trackers can be good choices too, thank you.

There's a lot of options if that's all you need. The fitbit Ace 3 or Inspire 2 should do that very, very well. If those seem to be too much, try looking for reviews of cheaper trackers and going for those instead. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

I would personally suggest going for the Mi Fit Band 5, it's only 30$ or so, it tracks steps, sleep and heart rate is water proof up to a depth of 50 meters and has a 2 week battery life. Personally I have and still use the Mi Fit Band 4 and it has served me really well, the battery life is often longer than 2 weeks for me, but of course it depends on usage, the sleep tracking is pretty accurate and it's really easy to use.
