Syncing is mainly for notifications and real time health sensor updates. AFAIK almost all smart watches have some memory where they store information like heart rate / sleep / breathing, etc. and the data gets synced once the app is opened / connection is made via bluetooth. With my Mi Band I could get heart rate info for upto 2 days (per my testing) but couldn't track workouts as it relies on phones GPS for that.
Need a smartwatch under 10k, replacement for Mi Band 6

On this topic, I'm quite interested in PineTime:
www.pine64.org
The idea of configuring a watch to show only what I want is nice. The only problem being is that it's simply not available here. There was some store which did sell, but:
1. No idea which version it sold
2. No idea if the site is trustworthy
Outside of that, I've heard good things about Mi Bands and Dizo Watch R:

It having a round AMOLED is very attractive to me…

I ended up buying the Apple Watch SE, got to say the experience has been decent so far. The only downer is the charging, but it charges fast enough when I'm showering that its not an issue.
The main issue, however, has been the sport band. If my hand gets wet and water gets under the strap, my skin gets irritated and I get itching / rashes. I have ordered a couple of bands from Daily Objects (As my brother swears by them), waiting for them.

Looks great, but I firmly believe wearables are a lot better with OLED.

I have to agree, they look awesome! Especially round ones!
How I wish a modern Moto 360 was still available…
But, I also love transflective LCDs, like the one you got on the likes of Pebble. They provide even better battery, and work well when I need them the most — in direct sunlight to check for time or notifications.
Then there are some watches that have both of them in a single display, like the upper models of Casio G-Shock (they call it dual-layer display). I wish more options come into this space!
Congratulations!
And yeah, my skin also gets irritated on most smartwatch bands… Mi band was my favourite as their original straps did not react badly to my skin. Do tell us if the new band does help you, which might be good news for people like us.

Stock silicon band of my Watch4 is super comfy!
