Two things In need in a smartwatch: long battery life (at least 5 days), and copious music storage space. I mean, I also need a clock, sleep and heartrate sensors, step monitoring, etc, but they're stuff most normal smartwatches have already.

I'm currently using a Hauwei GT2 which I don't connect to the internet except when unavoidable, such as when transferring music from my phone to the watch, but I would gladly prefer an open source solution.

I really don't get needing more than lasting the day. im fine recharging things overnight.

If you want to monitor sleep with it charging at night isn't possible, and remembering to charge every single day during the day is annoying in my opinion. Not everyone wants sleep monitoring though, or likes to sleep with a watch on, so I get why there's some division on the subject.

My pebble 2 hr lasts about 5 days and I'm very happy with that frequency of charging. I think it was a bit better when new but that was a long time ago.

seems like having a removable backplate battery would fix that.
