Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I'm starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

It all depends on what you are trying to get out of it. If you're looking for more phone connectivity, you can bet you'll need to charge it way more often. Easily once a day. If you're looking for just a fitness tracker, get a fit bit or a Garmin, they last a week or so. I had a fit bit for many years, before Google purchased them up. I had the charge 2, 3, and 4. Had to recharge it about once a week. It worked fine for viewing texts and tracking sleep/steps. About two months ago I switched to a galaxy watch 6 lte, I need my phone for work but don't always have it directly on me, so it was a compromise. I can deal with the rigorous charging, but having the expanded features, I actually use them. I am unbiased about apple watch VS galaxy watches, I went with a galaxy because I don't have an iPhone.
