Smartwatches like Pebble?

My old and trusty Pebble Steel got stolen last year, and in the past few days I've found myself really wanting to get a new smartwatch. However, despite having looked everywhere I can't really seem to find anything that fits the bill that my pebble did (which really fit me perfectly):

 

1. looking more like a watch and less like a fitness tracker

2. Lasts more than a day or two

3. doesn't cost an arm and a leg

 

Can anyone think of any smartwatches that generally fit this description?

Secondary System: EVGA GTX 780ti SC, i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz, 16gb DDR3 1600mhz, MSI Z77 G43, Noctua NH D15, EVGA GQ 650W, Fractal Design Define R4, 3TB WD Caviar Blue, 250gb Samsung 850 Evo

Gear S2 Classic is decently cheap now, lasts me about 2-3 days

I played around with a few in my search for a replacement for my Pebble Time Round. I ended up settling on the Apple Watch Series 3 (3 days battery life), but the very close runner up -- and it was only worse because it had slightly worse functionality with an iPhone -- was the Gear S3/Gear Sport (also around 3 days). 

 

Tizen OS and Watch OS are the only good smartwatch OS's as far as I'm concerned. Garmin's attempt is pretty poor, and Android Wear is just horrendous.

I'm in a similar situation where I'm looking for a replacement for my Pebble (the original) and the only smart watch replacement that I like is the pebble 2, but support has ended so it pulls me away. I don't like circular displays, and I like to be able to change my watch face.
