I really like my Amazfit Neo. Okay, it doesn't charge with USB-C but I appreciate its "always on" display and retro aesthetic. Can't believe they don't make 'em anymore!

Is there a worthy successor or can anybody recommend a similar minimalist smartwatch that won't break the bank?

    I've had my Amazfit Bip (the original) for 6 or 7 years and the only complaint I have is the shitty original non-breathing silicon strap. After I replaced it with nylon strap, it was pretty much perfect.

    The battery still lasts over three weeks. The display glass only has a few tiny scratches on it, despite that I've worn the watch basically 24/7 all these years.

    It has all the basic functionalities I need built in and the not-so-important-but-nice ones I can get via Tasker.

    And it was really cheap, I originally bought it just to see what the fuss about smartwatches was all about. But it's been so damn useful and trustworthy that I won't even consider upgrading until it fails someday.
