I can’t settle on a new smartwatch, so I’m asking for recommendations. I don’t want to pay more than 50 euros for it, but I just want it to tell the time and steps accurately without connecting to an app, and a long battery life. Everything else is extra, but nice to have.

Have you looked into asteroidOS?

If you use an Android phone, you can install Trail Sense from F-droid on it. It has a step counter. Then if you still want to wear a watch, use an ordinary dumb watch.

  1. That watch doesn’t seem to have a step tracker

Check out the watches supported by the gadget bridge APP and buy second Hand.

I have the old CMF Watch Pro, which is compatible with Gadgetbridge, which is a FOSS app, and supports all features. The new ones are also compatible but may lack a feature or two. You can use it without connecting to the phone too, but I don’t mind, since Gadgetbridge is FOSS and privacy friendly.

For the battery, mine works for at least 3 days, when connected to the phone and using other features like always on display, lift to wake etc.
