I've been using an Apple Watch Series 7 41 mm from 2021 and was really blown away with how much more usable and comfortable it was due to the rectangular screen. Round watches make my wrist feel sore after wearing it the whole day. The more narrow shape of a rectangular watch makes a huge difference in comfort for me.
Sadly it seems like Android wearOS are trying too hard to be not Apple and the few brave manufacturers that don't mind making a rectangular watch aren't available in the US.
Is there anything rectangular on the radar coming soon to the US?

I am having issues with set up process of an unused LG G Watch W100 that looks like that has not left the box (even tho the ebay listing says it is used), after the successful process of connecting to my Android phone threw bluetooth after few minutes of the "Just a sec" screen it says it can't connect to the internet.
The watch connects to my Wear OS app perfectly threw bluetooth and can even connect threw bluetooth to my phone without the app with no problem too.
I tried using multiple WiFi connects that have WPA/WPA2-Personal and WPA2/WPA3-Personal, doesn't work. I tried connecting the watch from Mobile data on my phone, which doesn't block any connections if my router might have blocking anything, still doesn't work.
Is there a way to fix this or at least bypass this, because I just want to unlock Developer mode so I can install AsteroidOS on it?
I am allowed to listen to music at work, but not use my phone once in the facility. I usually leave it in a hoodie pocket but I'd rather just have a smart watch that lets me skip ahead, skip track, select from a playlist, and do so from my PHONE not from the watch if possible (modded app + I don't want to pay for a watch to have data too)
I don't need it to be particularly rugged but a good dust proofing is required, or a case that blocks dust. My job gets a LOT of kief in the air and it sticks to EVERYTHING so being cleanable with an alcohol wipe is nice too.
Price range is more or less anything under like $500 but I'd rather spend under $150.
Phone is a galaxy a54 into JBL wireless buds through mint mobile, mainly bc I hate spending a lot on mobile devices (why does my phone need to be stronger than most people's PC? Why pay $80/m for slightly faster speeds than $15/m?)
I'd only use the watch at work, tbh.
I looked at some deals and read some stuff but I'm worried the cheapos in results will break quick, I've also never owned a wearable as until this phone I mainly just bought whatever phone had a good dac (rip v60) threw on a big sd card and listened through cans, bc I didn't work somewhere with rules about phones specifically and I hate in-ears lmao
Did a lot of research and narrowed it down to these. I'm a beginner hoping to be more intermediate in my fitness journey. I already own a Chromebook and pixel 7a. According to what I've read the main difference between the two comes down to software?
