I'm still using a huawei gt2 Pro never seen any reason to replace it does most things and the battery is still a week and a half to two weeks I'd guess. If I'm honest though I use it as more of an mp3 player than a tracker.

I am very happy with my Skagen Jorn gen 6 hybrid. Hybrid means both e-ink screen and physical watch hands. It has a few health sensors, can display notifications, track workouts, send commands to Alexa if you want that, and much more. It's simply an awesome smartwatch in a classic inconspicuous design, and it has a hopping 5 weeks battery life, and it's supported by Gadgetbridge. Nothing can beat it in my opinion.
I'll wear my Pebble Time Round until it disintegrates
I like the way the Apple Watch (non-ultra) looks and functions but the battery life is garbage. It’s almost tolerable brand new but the battery degrades over time and you have to charge more often. No thanks.
I currently use a Garmin forerunner 955. Since I use it for running I charge once a week or so. If you don’t work out and just want metrics, it lasts 2 weeks. I highly recommend Garmin watches
I loved Wear OS from Fossil before I switched to Linux phone.
I recently upgraded from a Fenix 3 to a 6x and i love it, which actually makes me use it way more ❤️ Suddenly dropped the idea of trying out mainstream alternatives.
I have a polar vantage m and i like it, it was relatively cheap and has everything one needs when it comes to running
I've had a Garmin vivofit 3 unsmart watch since 2017. I've replaced the band and battery a few times but it's been a pretty good tracker. the watch battery has been a great feature as I don't have to charge it, just replace it once a year or so.
