Chares in about an hour though so i usually just charge it up while having dinner and cleaning up then its ready to go back on my wrist.

I agree with someone else, dont just do the updates because samsung will add one feature or fix a feature but remove 1 or 2 really good features so usually not worth the update.

Personal opinion and I'm rambling because I feel like I'm in an old man yelling at a cloud kind of mood, but don't bother with any smartwatch that isn't Apple. WearOS (Android) is awful, feels abandoned, and can barely do basic functions right - it's comical they often have fancy screens, crummy battery life, and can't properly record a step or a squat (a simple up and down motion). Other watch operating systems are often poorly integrated with the software of the phone OS and that limits functionality a lot.

Fitness Tracker (FitBit, Garmin, Mi Band or alike), you can use whatever you want since it's not doing anything overly fancy anyways. FitBit has the best software, best looking designs, worst hardware in terms of longevity. Garmin has the best hardware (imo), software is good enough for most, but overall isn't as intuitive or stylish. Mi Band or similar tiers are the best bang for your buck if you just care about getting a vibration on your arm when you get a text or call, and doing some basic step counting - software is meh, but fills its function.

I just ordered for myself after watching some reviews on YT and seems like it is still a worthy watch in 2020. It has the same processor as latest Samsung smart watches.

Also, the 42mm version is $186.99
