I am the same way. My watch is firstly a watch, secondly needs to do minimal things (HR, step counter, sleep analysis, notifications). For that the Withings Steel HR [1] was perfect.

I bought it at the start of the pandemic after seeing it on my local news, and wore it every day/night for 5-6 months before needing to take it off to charge, and when I did that, I realized I lost the charger.

It was an amazing watch though. Simple and elegant.
