Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy my first real smartwatch(I don't count garmin vivosmart HR as one), and I am looking to have really specific, very important notifications on it. To be honest I don't really know whats possible nowadays, and to research something this specific, it would take me a long time, so I am choosing the easy way out and hope the community with it's vast experience can help me out!

Here are the details on the notifications I'd like to receive:
1)From Gmail, from one address(account), from one or two specific sender only.
2)From text messages, the same as above, from a specific sender only.
3)From other, unpopular app, nothing specific but all the notifications.(Tradingview, but others too)
4)I would like these notifications above to be persistent. Ex. Vibrate until I acknowledge it, or to add a periodic reminder until I acnowledge it.

Additionaly:
a)I would like to get a watch that has a longer battery life. Preferably not daily charging.
b)Play nice with Android.
c)Don't have a budget preference, but ofc I strive for bang for my buck.
d)Mobile connection(LTE) would probably be interesting as backup solution but not a must.

I currently have a Note 9, and considering how much I love this phone, I will continue on the Note line further. But if there are better options out there than Samsung smartwatches, I have nothing against it.

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at the various Samsung devices? They will pair nicely with your Note. Really a matter of taste and budget regarding which to pick.

The specifics you listed are quite specific. I would think you would need to make some rules within Gmail to make some of that happen. I honestly don't know if you can filter text messages as indicated, with any device.

What research have you conducted? Any options you are considering?

Thanks for your reply! I finally decided to wait and see the Galaxy watch 2,subject to possibly release with the S11/S20.
I was hoping it's a basic wear os or tizen kind of option what the phone sends or what the watch ignores... Guess the tech isn't there yet for me,not sure I need a watch without these notification options...
