I have a Garmin and feel the same, definitely more aware of my health.

Battery lasts about 2 weeks which is impressive.

Yessss I have a Garmin Instinct and I love it, easily my favorite Smart watch. It's got just enough smart stuff that I'd use without a bunch of extras I'd never use.

And I charge it once a week if I'm biking a lot and using the GPS.

Can you share which garmin you have? Battery life is By far my biggest issue with the Apple Watch. Once it discharges I forget to use it.

I have the forerunner 245 music. It lasts days (at the worst) and can sync offline spotify playlists

Thanks!

Does it include body battery too? Do you find it useful?

Yes it does. I found it pretty enlightening. It tracks almost perfectly with how I feel in the morning and helped me get a sense of how alcohol in particular affected me.
