Smartwatch recommendation

I am planning to gift my parents a smartwatch. The feature I am looking for is notifications/alerts for messages and calls, especially from cellular calls, FaceTime, and 3rd party IM/VoIP apps (Viber, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp). My mom has an iPhone and my dad has an Android / Samsung phone. My budget is under PHP 3000 or USD 50 per watch.

 

Note: The notifications/alerts for messages and calls are the only things that I am looking for, so preferably under PHP 3000 or USD 50 per watch.

 

I own a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and these are the features that I am looking for:

Which smartwatch can you recommend?

 

I already found Redmi Watch 3 Active (at PHP 1999) and Amazfit Bip 3 Pro (at PHP2999), but I am not sure if they can show notifications/alerts for messages and calls from 3rd party apps, and support for iPhones.

Check the older Huawei smartwatches. They offer 5-15 days of battery time (model dependent). Most Samsungs last for 1-3 days on a charge.

Samsung Smartwatches often have features that require a Samsung phone. Huawei work fine on most phones including Apple.

I have a Watch GT3 Pro Huawei while my dad uses a Samsung Galaxy Watch4.
