Two things In need in a smartwatch: long battery life (at least 5 days), and copious music storage space. I mean, I also need a clock, sleep and heartrate sensors, step monitoring, etc, but they're stuff most normal smartwatches have already.

I'm currently using a Hauwei GT2 which I don't connect to the internet except when unavoidable, such as when transferring music from my phone to the watch, but I would gladly prefer an open source solution.

If the watch battery doesn't last at least 12 months, count me out. I have too many things to worry about charging. The only reason I have a watch is because its a thing that tells time and sets alarms that I never have to worry about dying (OK, maybe a few times per decade)

If all you want from a watch is time and alarms, you're obviously not even remotely in the demographic that any smartwatch is targeting.
