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!2

I decided to take the plunge this lunchtime and have ordered an Apple watch SE. It looks like a normal watch. I decided to stick with a brand I'm familiar with, although not had one of their watches before. Used the £50 in vouchers from work towards it and ordered it direct from Apple. It's coming tomorrow. Had to stop myself from ordering a fancy strap with flowers on it and go for one that will match anything 😆

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

My fitbit of 8 years went the same way as yours and the battery kept going.

Morning all, happy Friday.
Working in the office this morning, aiming to finish early afternoon.
I always used to buy my Fitbit straps from eBay and such like sites. Maybe the quality isn't as good but a fraction of the price. I've already been looking at the Apple straps, less than £10 as opposed to £49.
It's a lovely sunny day here and it was a very pleasant walk to work this morning. The roads didn't seem very busy at all.
Another expensive day ahead no doubt as I have my eye test shortly. I've opted for the scan at £5 extra.
I want this coming weekend to be all about getting myself organised again. The weeks just pass by in a blur because I'm so busy and I get so very little time to achieve all I'd like to. A plan will be put in place for sure.
Shopping wise I need to pop into Lid! on the way home.
Already got two nice days of lunch with friends lined up, one for next month and one for May. Different sets of friends and really looking forward to both.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪10
