I can't settle on a new smartwatch, so I'm asking for recommendations. I don't want to pay more than 50 euros for it, but I just want it to tell the time and steps accurately without connecting to an app, and a long battery life. Everything else is extra, but nice to have.

This is just my mindset so take it with a grain of salt.

I think for outdoors, fitness, and sports you don't get a Garmin you shouldn't get a smart watch dedicated for it. I personally run, hike, climb, occasionally even dive. I just wear a simple casio square day to day because I don't want to shell out the couple hundred dollars for a garmin fenix just yet.

I don't particularly know what's your use case that some burner phone that only has a step counter app can't do
