1. My argument is about the usable span of a watch (updates/battery charge). After a certain point, a smartwatch may only be useful as a watch. It will invariably be heavier than a regular watch at this point. You are only willing to put up with the extra weight because it does other things today. And you'd still need to charge it daily to just tell time.
2. A smartwatch in this range typically doesn't receive updates (Apple Series 3 or first gen SE etc). A Garmin might last you a while but it's not your typical smartwatch.
3. A 'smart' watch in this budget that lasts you a while (updates) is going to be along the lines of a Fitbit.
#2 and #3 are cheaper to make the equivalent EcoDrive.
Updates/having the ability to even do a factory reset are important in a smartwatch.
It's really upto you. It depends on cloud services/paired device to even tell time. One will work the same as the day you started using it even after decades. The other will not. I wear a cheap Casio since I don't want the distractions.
Not making my decisions based on cost/price alone.
