While still a “sister”/subsidiary company, Huami’s Amazfit Bip (particularly the 1st gen but I think also the Bip S IIRC) have transflective memory-in-pixel screens with 1-3 months of battery life (3 months being almost an anomaly that I experienced with a fresh battery) - while still tracking movement and sleep.
I got an Amazfit Band 7 after my OG Bip died. More info as far as blood o2 and fitness recovery & VO2 estimates etc, but it loses the compass, barometer, a physical button (bizarrely imo) & a few month(s) of battery life. The OLED is certainly nicer in some situations (almost always indoors) but I very much miss the battery life. Oh, and lots of app & custom watchface support too.
Btw if you have a larger budget, Garmin is also apparently pretty good with good battery life and a very similar screen type (and much better sports tracking).
Transflective LCD, e-paper or similar always visible low-power display technology is mandatory for infrequently charged compact wearables.
I tried I like Amazfit Bip (older, more contrast, low refresh frequency) and Amazfit Bip S (newer, less contrast, higher refresh frequency, music playback control) devices that work for more than a month on one charge. For Android synchronization one can use excellent FOSS Gadgetbridge app.
Fossil Hybrid watches. Four weeks battery life. Supported by Gadgetbridge, so no need to upload your health data to a third party. Can run custom code on the watch.
