> the FitBit isn't a smartwatch. It's designed around a single function (fitness monitoring)

While that is true of most FitBit models, the FitBit Charge 2 has some smartwatch features like notifications.

Same of the FitBit Blaze. I'm quite happy with my Blaze. It does notifications (email, call, sms/iMessage, apps) and music control as well. Battery life has been pretty good, though it doesn't really matter, I simply charge it when I'm in the shower and getting ready in the morning, and that's enough to get me back to 100% battery each morning.
