[Ipg-smz] Best simple smartwatch?

Hi! I lost my trusty Pebble watch during a trip of San Francisco, and am looking for a replacement to wear at conferences. (I generally don’t wear a watch at home except for dressy events, and for that I always wear a vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual that Carole bought me for our 20th anniversary.)

Here are the requirements for a smartwatch:

1. Sync with my iPhone calendar, and show me the next event and event reminders.

2. Ping when I get text messages, and maybe show them.

3. Have a very easy-to-read time display that’s always on.

4. Have at least three day’s battery life.

I don’t need health monitoring, step counters, entertainment, gps, blah blah blah. It’s okay if the watch has them, as long as I can turn those features off or easily ignore them.

It seems the Fitbit Versa might be the best for me… any thoughts on it? Any other ideas?

Thanks, -A
