    I have the Garmin Lily - bought because it looks like a normal watch and is small and not quite as chunky as the other options!

    Sounds good. My strap at the moment does not actually match. Light blue & dark blue as they both got damaged.

    You can the watch straps on selling sites for a fraction of the cost, so you don't need to pay apple strap prices if you did want to indulge x

    My fitbit of 8 years went the same way as yours and the battery kept going. I replaced with Apple Watch SE and have been very pleased with it.
