I have been thinking about buying one of these Citizen smartwatches. They're very expensive normally, but they can be found on eBay for cheaper.  I think they're very nice looking. The second one is also available with a blue face and yellow second-hands. Like other hybrids, they have less functionality than smartwatches with a full display, but conversely you don't look like a nerd walking around with a video game on your wrist.  Like other hybrids, they have much lower power consumption than full display smartwatches and don't need to be charged as often. These particular Citizen smartwatches don't need to be charged, period. They have Citizen's "Eco Drive" hidden solar panel. The face itself is a solar panel and ambient light charges the watch.

 I think these are very handsome. However, they are large and might be a bit too big for my little wrist.

I agree with Graham....  blue faced one is nice.  You’re right about the size of them...  it might look a bit awkward...  but maybe not.

My Citizen eco drive solar field-style watch has been going for years...  it’s a total beater.  But it never stops.  There is a small issue with the day indicator being in Hebrew (I think it’s Hebrew), but sometimes it’s in English.

Other than that, it’s a workhorse.  I think it’s nice looking too with orange numerals on a black dial and case.  It was cheap.  Very good value.  I got it cuz it looks like the much more expensive Bell & Ross field watches, which cost thousands.
