I use the Garmin solar instinct. It lasts 30-40 days on a charge. If it doesn't get any sun (winter months), its ~22 days on a charge.

Sure but how is that a competitor for an apple watch? At least a competitor to me would have to be able to run the equivalent of Fantastical and Omnifocus.

Hopefully you understand that watches can still be competitors in the smartwatch space even if they don't have feature parity?

Absolutely, though in terms of battery life I find it quite odd to compare a barebone watch like the Garmin to apple or samsung watches. I am not surprised that a casio watch has a better battery life either.

Pebble Time Steel can last up to 12 days, with the screen always on.

Pebble is so good that I still keep 2 extra ones in their unopened boxes, for the day my current one fails.

Garmin can easily last a week or two.

Sure but how many of those are actually comptition for Samsung Galaxy watches or Apple Watches? I have a Fenix 5 but wouldn't consider that to be competition for an Apple watch due to the terrible display and lack of apps. Easy to get a weeks worth of battery if the device doesn't run anything.

Competitor as a fitness watch? Definitely. For my use case neither galaxy watch or apple watch clarify as a anything but a glorified kid toy.
