Is anyone curious about what to look for? I think it's important to first check out what sensors are available—heart rate, oxygen, movement data, etc., all come in handy. For example, are there any that track sleep? Battery life really annoys me too; I'm tired of constantly charging it. How do you balance price and performance? A sturdy build and water resistance are also features I'm looking for. What do you all prioritize?
What should I look for when buying a smartwatch?

I recently got one too, bro, and honestly, battery life was my main concern. I’d say don’t bother with cheap ones that don’t have an oxygen sensor or heart-rate sensor—they give really rough data. If you’re looking at sleep-tracking models, some can even distinguish deep sleep and REM stages. Not a must-have, but pretty useful in my opinion. For battery, aim for at least 5–7 days of real-world use; I was tired of charging every other day.
For water resistance, go for 5ATM or IP68 so it survives rain or even a dip in your pocket. When I was weighing price vs. performance, I tried the Xiaomi Band 8 Pro around 3000 lira. Now I want something with a solid case—like 100-meter waterproof. And if the band itself is flimsy, it’ll break or get lost anyway.
