I'm looking for a watch that is able to do basic "smart" things like show notifications and ping my phone if I misplace it. A timer/stopwatch would also be good, and a long lasting battery.

I have no interest in an Apple watch or Galaxy watch, so I'm looking for something comparatively cheap.

I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?

I just used a throwaway email to initially sign up to get the Key, then deleted the app. Was very easy.

Alright that doesn't sound that bad. I have a Mi Band 3 and haven't upgraded to anything else due to the need to get a key with anything newer.
