Glorified Fitness Tracker for approx Rs.5K

Hey all, might be a repetitive question, but I was unable to find someone who was looking for the same things out of their smartwatch/fitness tracker. I want a decently accurate step tracker, more accurate sleep tracker and something that can notify me of call/messages from specific apps, all while being around 6-7 days of battery.

I don't require AOD, Sp02 etc. I currently have reached the end of life of an Mi Band 4, and I am quite satisfied with the watch and what it offered. Although, the step count and sleep trackers were bad, for the price and the tech of that time, it was passable. Throw some suggestions my way. My 2 current choices are between CMF Nothing Pro 2 and Galaxy Fit3. Thanks in advance :)
 
Coros latest smart watch has packed some really good accuracy in steps, gps at very good price of $250
.. sleep tracker not sure but most sleep tracker from good brands are doing good job their too.( Check reviews on YouTube)
It also packs great battery life.


Atleast my Garmin Enduro does and Even old Samsung watch were decent too.

Otherwise for your need you have many options now.

Battery life might be somewhere you will need to compromise depending on your budget.

Edit: My bad I didn't see 5k amount as your budget.
I think Samsung watch should be decent purchase for that budget.

Yeah, I saw the $250 and it gave me a mini heart attack :laughing: All good, thanks. Samsung seems pretty decent, apart from the battery life from what little I searched.

Look battery life is where we all pay most.
And even Apple with its crazy price is horrible with battery life.

I mean every 2 days charging...comeon.

Atleast 7 days should be minimum for such expensive watch with medium usage.

2 Days...it is every single day for me. I wear watch at 7 AM and goes back on charging cradle at 10 PM with red ring (basically under 20% battery). Not sure if 1.5 hour workout tracking (at 2 different times) is also contributing factor.
But then my watch is 2 years old and battery health is in 80s I guess now.

Are you talking about Ultra?
I was talking about Ultra. Yes normal apple watch is always single day charging.

God knows what old technology battery they are using for such expensive watch.

And before fans come and start defending think about all the watches available now and show me one single watch in today's time that still requires single day charging.
 
Since your use case is just to track sleep and mobile notifications anything under 5K will more or less have same accuracy because of the sensors used. I think the best bet would be to stick with Amaze fit & its ecosystem with its ZEPP app as you are already using the Mi band. Amazefit BIP 3 which i am using gives me easy 7-10 days battery life with sleep/step tracker and heart rate measurements every 5mins and Bluetooth connection with mobile too. For accuracy comparison across the devices in your range i think you can look at one of those youtube videos. Someone posted one link yesterday on similar query which you are having.

yes Non Ultra and although I am a fan, I would not defend Apple. I would appreciate at least 3 days battery life (I am keeping expectations low) but I doubt it will happen. I am guessing we need a different battery technology.

The technology already exists not sure why Apple is not brining it to its watches.
With Garmin watch when battery is as low as 7% and I am about to leave...I am still confident it will pull whole day easily. May be even two days.
But apple if it is 7 % and I have whole day to go. I will remove it from my wrist for that day because in just hours or 3 ..it will become useless for whole day unless charged.

Yes, came across that one recently. I'll give it a check. Thanks for the suggestion!
