There are dozens like those...
Such as? Not doubting, I just want to know
Another shout out for the PineTime here, which is open source.
Is it running a little Linux on there? How easy is it to program for? I want something that taps me every 15 minutes and asks if I'm doing something I want or doomscrolling.
I bought the "closed" version, since I'm not a programmer myself and rely on community efforts. So unfortunately I can't provide you with an answer!
Edit: I don't think Infinitime is Linux based, but it is open source: https://infinitime.io/
PineTime
Withings, Garmin and Casio have them in very different styles, plus a lot of Chinese ones which names I don't remember.
Literally months of battery time, up to unlimited for the solar ones.
As someone with a Garmin Instinct Solar, the unlimited battery is really dependent on your habits. You really need to be exposed to the sun for long periods on a daily basis for it to noticeably charge via solar. Still though the idea of a watch that you never need to charge is really neat.
I'm sure it'll charge from the dim light of my screens just fine /s
