I need and want a smart watch

[FinestRyeBread]

What's a smart watch that is water resistant, needs to last like 8hrs of use (mainly notification checking and time checking) and cost doesn't matter. I'm located in the US. ty

Also I'm on android

You are the first Person on Earth who need a smart watch.

The choice kinda depends on what phone do you have.

The Huawei watch is good if you want to buy one right now, it might be worth waiting because there are a few new smartwatches coming out soon

For battery and water resistance, and since you're primarily looking to use it for receiving notifications, I'd have to suggest a Pebble. My Pebble Time Steel lasts around 5 days or so and the display is always on so 8 hours wouldn't be a problem. It's water resistant to 30 metres as well.

 

I don't use apps on it much, mostly notifications which sounds like what you're wanting anyways. Pebble released their own "Send Text" app awhile so I primarily use that and an app called "Music Boss" which is awesome for media control. It's great at being a watch first, smartwatch second kind of thing. Plus in my (limited) experience with a Moto 360, Pebble's physical buttons are a much nicer way to navigate a smartwatch than a touchscreen. You don't obscure the content and can do things like skip songs without looking at the watch.

The Time Round has a battery life quoted at a day, and isn't water resistant. If you want that you'll need to get a Time.
