Fossil Is Quitting Smartwatches

Half the reason i use a "smart watch" is basically to track my sleep.

My old Amazfit bip seems like it may give up on me any time now.. but I still can't find something that comes close to this in terms of it's 4 week battery life. Not even fitness trackers.

I already have to charge my laptop, smartphone, steam deck daily. If i have to add earphones and smart watch to that list, it would be just too much for me.

I just take the Apple Watch off for showering in the morning.

Same, pain to deal with a wet watch anyways.

Is this because of the touch screen? I have only ever used my garmins. I can't imagine having a watch I could not use in the rain.

Touch screen, the silicone/cloth straps absorbing/holding some moisture and making the wrist feel sweaty for the next hour or so..
