I used the Apple Watch Series 10 for most of the last six months, switching over to Withings' excellent ScanWatch Nova in the last month or so. I've always enjoyed using the Apple Watch for the consistency, but the ScanWatch Nova has a much better design, and I like the hybrid nature; it isn't a full-fledged smartwatch, so it lasts well over two weeks on average.
Honor's latest wearable — the Watch 5 Ultra — aims to strike a good balance in this regard. It is a smartwatch similar to the Galaxy Watch 7 and other options in this category, but it misses out on Wear OS 5; Honor is instead using a lightweight variant of its Magic OS skin. While this means you don't get the ability to install any apps outside of those bundled with the watch, the upside is battery life — the Watch 5 Ultra easily lasts up to two weeks between charges.
