The Pebble Time 2 is still my holy grail of watches:

Acceptable looking in any setting
a week-long battery life with always on display
fitness tracking
good notification support with ability to dismiss or take further action
custom watch faces AND apps

I'm rocking an Amazfit GTS 1 now and it fills some of those demands, but I'm still waiting for something with a UX that felt as great as Pebble did. I'm happy you've found satisfaction with a Garmin, but I'm not sure I'd like to go back to something with such a large bezel.

@adduc aww the Pebble was amazing. I owned the original and what would be deemed as the colour version and loved them to bits. Such a shame it ended the way it did and the larger screen colour version never released.
