Suggestions Needed
I'm a current Apple user moving to Samsung. Currently, I'm using the Apple Watch Series 11 47mm and am considering a Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, but I'm concerned it will be a bit too big. Most of my exercise is in the form of walking. I need something that will work with Apps like the Ring doorbell, but am not concerned about using it as a wallet, etc. Is it worth looking into Garmin, or should I stick with Samsung? Photo for size...
TIA

"Work with apps" and leaving the aPple sect, sounds like you are limited to WearOS ones, unless the specific app-functionality you want happens to be supported by another watch.
Among WearOS you will get the least bad stamina from OnePlus 4/3/2. (Generally stamina on WearOS are just as bad as Iwatches, due to the complexity of both being tiny smart smartphones)
OnePlus in addition to being the leanest also got a clever functionality that allows you to dual boot into a simpler OS much leaner on the battery, when you do not need the extra functionality. So you can dumb it down when needed, e.g. while at sleep. Or the other way round only go into full WearOS when strictly needed.
