Does Anybody Know a Watch That Has Long Battery Life, Has Multiple Reminders and Can Also Be Used as a Fitness Tracker?

Basically, I have several problems

  • I forget things. That's why I need daily reminders for my daily activity ( do not want to use smart phone for battery life - have to charge every day :))
  • I want something with large battery life (since I forget to charge/or too lazy to charge)
  • I want it to track my fitness as well as I do activities and I want to track them

The watches I considered:

Matrix Industries BlackOps – Battery Never Dies!
- Has only one reminder
Garmin Vivoactive- Up to 21 Days
- Did not get the detail on it so much about the reminders.

So, I'm asking my fellow ozbargainer for an advice. May be somebody is as lazy and forgetful as I am.

    I picked up a Garmin forerunner 230 (235 is more popular) from eBay for $110 second hand. It's got gps, battery lasts about 2 weeks, get notifications from the iPhone. It's tough as guts and reckon it's a great buy if you can find one cheap.

      Came here to say this. I can’t get over the battery life on this thing. Bought mine in Singapore start of November ‘18. Charged it up when I got it. And have only charged it once since then.

      I also own a Fitbit and the wife owns a Fitbit Charge 2, and they are nowhere near the battery life of the Amazfit Bip.

        Thanks buddy! how many reminders can you configure on this one? can you pick up the phone calls or stop/start music on your phone with this?

          Reminders: don’t know how many, but you can set multiple alarms
          Start/stop: don’t know, never tried
          Pick up calls: don’t know, never tried

          It’s not an Apple iWatch in terms of features. I don’t this it’s even in the same competition. But it’s nice, very light, easy to use with amazing battery life.

            @pegaxs: Reminders: as you can set it up to receive notifications form certain apps, there is most likely a way for it to show notifications for calender apps
            Start/stop music: i dont use this myself but there is custom firmware that gives you something like this, be careful with installing though as it can brick your device
            pick up calls: by default can only reject calls, not pick-up. but again there is custom firmware that can enable this

            the amazfit bip is not really a smart watch, more of an advanced fitness tracker (has GPS and notifications). besides that i love mine and it gives me everything i need and can't even begin to mention how good the battery life is.
