Wearables?

Pixel 2XL with Garmin Forerunner 935

I'm using my pixel 2 xl with a garmin vivoactive 3. I had the first Samsung Android wear watch, then switched to a Motorola 360 sports, then the Huawei. All nice but I can't stand the battery life. Overtime I realized what I really want in a smart watch is good battery life, notifications, and fitness tracking. The Garmin has all 3. Other than the notification, the garmin is miles ahead in the other 2 categories compared to Android wear. My battery life last 5 to 7 days. I pretty much charge it every day while I'm showering and my battery never goes below 80%. As a fitness tracker, the garmin is way better than android wear and I can even go swim with it. I'm very happy with the watch.

On a side note, the pebble round is probably still my favorite smart watch. Too bad it is no longer supported. I sold that watch as soon as I found out the company was sold and will not longer update it.
 
I have iPhone Apple Watch combo too, In all honesty, this is the main reason I keep my 6s running with a second sim card. I have an original Apple watch and a series 2 with waterproofing. I swap them daily to keep monitoring my heart and sleep. But apart from some banking apps that is all I use my iPhone for.
 
Pixel 2 and Huawei Watch. But since I got the Pixel 2 I can't have the "hear the voice directly on the watch during calls" setting on or else there will be a 10+ seconds delay before me and the caller hear each other. This is is very annoying, I have to turn the setting off, which breaks an important feature from the smartwatch.
Google is aware of this and there's a bug report open but even after several Google Phone App updates they still haven't fix it.
