GW6 probably 1 day max. But they are 2 completely different types of watches..
This one is not really smart, is more like g-shock watch + activities tracker + gps. No touch screen, no apps, no mic, but has music control i think.. It is rugged though.
150$ is good price, close to its real value..
Not solar, but its kinda useless anyway, you need to be outdoors for 10 hours a day to charge it 15% or so, according to some youtube reviews.

On a side note, I thought that a Fitbit Charge 5 was considered a fitness tracker and not a smartwatch but found that their system classifies it to be a smartwatch when I recently tried to return it after about 1 year when Fitbit bricked my Charge 5 with a bad firmware/software update. My return was denied per the 90 day return policy for smartwatches. I'm never buying a Fitbit again so looking at Garmin watches now.

Crazy how good these watches gotten in terms of battery life.
Garmin should get into the smartphone world, maybe we'll finally get a phone that last weeks instead of a day or 2

I have a Fitbit Sense 2 and have BT constantly on, heart rate tracking on, few notifications like emails, text and calls with even with an AMOLED screen I get about 6 to 7 days battery. I work out daily, have an average of 20k steps per day and check my time constantly.
So based on the comparison of your device and my device I'd say that Fitbit is definitely better. I read planning to switch to a Garmin Epix 2 because I like AMOLED for my watch screen but considering the difference between or watches I should stick to Fitbit.
I prefer Garmin software and tracking personally (not interested in smart phone sync features personally). Polar tracking is a close second, it's what I previously used. However, the batt life on my particular model was like 1.5 days or so if I remember correctly. Before that I had a Fitbit and I didn't care for their tracking systems. I'm sure a lot has changed since that Fitbit though.
Superficially, I wouldn't wear one of the Fitbits as my daily watch. I much prefer the style of the Garmin watches. But maybe if I wore a Charge, it would allow me to wear regular watches (mechanical) at the same time. I like regular watches but never wear them anymore because I prefer to track and don't want to wear two watches.
Anyways, glad you like your watch so much and think it's better, but there are other reasons and preferences for each individual to consider other than battery life.
