Hi and welcome to WindowsCentral.

If you don't like the Band 2, the only other smartwatch compatible with Windows Phone is the Vector. Quick look: Vector Smartwatch and the Lumia 950 | Windows Central

What she said . There just isn't a whole lot of official options for Windows Phone at the moment. Some other smartwatches claim Windows Phone support, but require tinkering around or their functionality is very limited and just don't work very well at the moment .

Yeah Pebble's aren't recommended, even though they are nice basic smartwatches. Only the original and the Steel work well (and that's with sideloading a tech demo app to make it work), and if they have been updated to the new pebble OS then they no longer work for the most basic of tasks.

For me moto 360 is a good smartwatch.

It was the last straw for me. I got to the point where I needed a Smartwatch as I kept missing text messages from my daughter and wife. I did not want a band, but a watch. I ended up going back to Android and getting a ZenWatch 2. It's been a great device.

Yes, Badmojo
you are right, I agree with you
one of my friend is using same device and he is happy too with Asus Zenwatch2.

thanks

I have a Garmin Fenix3 Sapphire watch (cf. Garmin Fenix3 In-Depth Review ), which is really awesome. Great for working out, looks good even while wearing a suit, and shows notifications, calls, etc. And there is a Garmin Connect Windows Phone app. Works great with my Lumia 950.
