Hi there. I’m a long time Pebble and Amazfit Bip user, primarily for their battery life (45 days-ish) and low profile, but it’s becoming so much more convincing these days to switch to an Apple Watch for productivity purposes. Can you help me figure out which watch series and model would be ideal?

If the following features are priority for me, which Apple Watch should I consider (if any)?

  • Light & low profile: I use watch vibration as my alarm and will want to sleep with it on
  • Battery life: Since I sleep with my watch, I’d prefer to not have to charge it daily
  • Notifications: Texts, calls, etc
  • Outlook calendar view would be nice to have

A few things that are NOT priority for me:

  • Fitness tracking
  • Cell coverage
  • GPS

What kind of battery life could I expect if I turn off all GPS and Fitness functions? I’m all for buying a used one, but I don’t know which one to look for. Thanks for any advice. Hopefully it’s helpful to more than just me.

    Yeah, it’s going to take a shift in behavior for me to switch, but I’m starting to see more benefit than cost.
