Note, it's one customizable button that brings up basic bluetooth touch screen controls, not as useful as pebble with multiple customizable buttons but it's very servicable since the screen is large. Also note software drama with the Huawei ban, so you need to install their store and healthsync to get everything working.

I'm in Canada, and the few vendors that sell huawei watches regularly discount to ~180 USD. I got my gt2 pro with points from our local pharmacist for slightly less than that. It was mainly spur of moment purchase for the oxygen monitor for covid, otherwise I would have been satisfied sticking with miband. Personally not into big watches, but got plenty of compliments. Matter of taste, but I would not spend 300+ USD for a smart watch yet, still not sure how battery life will play out.

Other tip I have since you focused on music controls is you can spend $20 to get a bluetooth car control remote with physical buttons to control media easily during winter with gloves on and wear whatever watch you want. I use to keep one in my breast pocket and can control my media through feel alone. It's stupid but it works.
