For sure. I love my Time Round. It's almost exactly what I've been looking for in a smartwatch since day 1: round, light, reasonably long battery, supports rich notifications and is cross-platform. Nothing else on the market comes close to it. The Apple Watch is amazing but only works on iOS and the data it stores isn't easily exportable to other services. Android watches are still too beta for me and their round offerings are way too bulky. Both have pretty bad battery life; I was lucky to get a day out of either and have, more often than not, had them die on me mid-day.

I hope Fitbit releases something like this with their newly-acquired IP. I'm not counting on it, however.

You might want to check out the Samsung Gear S2. Round, stylish (I get comments on mine all the time), reasonably thin, ok battery life, runs Tizen OS, works with Android and iOS (official app isn't out yet but the beta is floating around). I got mine for $150 refurbished online and couldn't be happier.
