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.

Pine Time

I agree with that. It only has really the basic features, but honestly, I'm not using any other features on my Samsung smart watch anyway. I had one and it has one feature which makes it better then the regular smart watches, the battery life. If I remember correctly it ran for almost a week before I had to charge it again.

When bluetooth and wake-on-raise is disabled, it can even last 1-2 months

I also second this, has basic smartwatch features and if you want to get in the weeds and install your own OS just get the developer kit. For 30 bucks I said it’s worth a test at least.
