Which smartwatch to buy?

Greetings!

 

I'm looking for a new smartwatch (It's in the title, duuuh :D) that can replace my broken Samsung Gear S3 Frontier.

Requirements:

  • Available in EU.
  • Minimum of 24 hours of battery life (preferably more).
  • Not too bulky (like the Casio Pro Trek Smart WSD-F20).
  • Maximum price is $450.
  • Water resistant (IP67 and up).
  • Trusted brand (LG, Samsung and so on...).
  • Works with Android.

I'm open for other suggestions too :) 

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

I’d recommend another gear s3 frontier being completely honest ? maybe the classic version if you want it to feel like a new watch

I thought about that too, but I came to the conclusion that I wanted more apps on the watch and the galaxy store is very limited. If I somehow could wear os on the gear... Hmmm...

you like big watches? foosil actually makes 1,5" display watches that are pretty nice imo. i bought the lg g watch r when it came out and am still happy with it but if i were to get a smartwatch right now id get the fossil q marshal in silver and probably change the strap to something textile (i always do that. dont like the metall straps)

Since I have thinner-than-average arms big displays don't really fit...

Searched around a bit: of the current time there is no Wear OS on the watch.

Still only rumors at this point, Evan blass tweeted about Samsung employees being spotted wearing gear watches running android wear. He’s a reliable leaker so there’s some truth to it, no idea when an official announcement would be made though, maybe alongside the note 9?

If I have a watch that meets all the requirements except for "trusted brand" would you consider?

It's not anything special, and it's not a flagship watch, it doesn't have nearly as many features as flagship smartwatches, but it meets your requirements, and I've had mine for 2 years with no issues, and it serves all my needs:

Good suggestion, however I think it is a little big for my tiny arms :D
