One of the best cheap smartwatches I've tested isn't made by Samsung or Google
Briefly

The TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro has a 628mAh battery and a dual display for low-power standby. Advertised battery life is 90 hours in smart mode and up to 45 days in Essential Mode; 30 minutes of fast charging provides up to two days. GPS tracking in outdoor running mode is estimated at up to 15 hours. Weekly charging during mixed running, rowing, activity tracking, and sleep monitoring indicates roughly four days of typical usage. The Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 platform improves efficiency and will support a future Wear OS 4 upgrade while currently running Wear OS 3.5. The watch outperforms Pixel Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in battery life.
For the past couple of years, I've been switching between various Google and Samsung Galaxy Watch models to pair with my Android, as Google's Wear OS is the best wearable experience, in my opinion. One feature I've come to appreciate in a smartwatch is a long-lasting battery, and one of the best in that category is the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro .
Its massive 628mAh battery has a unique dual display design for low-power standby use. That equates to an advertised 90 hours -- nearly four days -- of battery life in smart mode and up to 45 days in Essential Mode. Even better yet, just 30 minutes of fast charging provides up to two days of battery life.
For comparison, the Google Pixel Watch 3 dies on me during the second day, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will get me into the third day before running out of juice. The TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro is the clear winner for battery life, and if a long-lasting battery is your primary need, I couldn't recommend the watch more.
