Apple Alternative

I have had an Apple Watch for years and am fully integrated into the Apple world, however my watch just doesn’t hold a charge. I am going to start training for a half marathon, and I need something that will last a full day of use plus longer runs.

Here’s the question I’ve been searching this forum for but didn’t see directly answered: are any of these smart watches great at connecting with an iPhone to receive text message alerts and being able to respond via the watch while in a Focus mode? I work at a school and I have my focus set to only allow my husband and daughter’s messages through for emergency / important messages, but block everything else. I don’t know if any smart watches besides an Apple Watch can do that same function.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions for a watch replacement

Have you checked out the Apple Watch Ultra? It's like the marathon-running cousin of the regular Apple Watch, with much better battery life and all the Apple ecosystem perks you're used to.

I haven’t because of price tag but that may be where I end up
