    What's your budget? And what activities do you want to track?

    Your iPhone 7 is getting on a bit (it was released over 8 years ago), so apps / software to connect your phone and watch might be an issue.

    While I appreciate an Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go for £800+, you can pick up a refurb apple watch 7 for £160, a refurb apple watch 5 for just over £100 or used for closer to £50 from places like eBay (e.g. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/316017092508 ).

    Really they should have provided their budget as perception of 'expensive' is relative.

    Personally I'd save the money and put it towards upgrading the phone, as an iPhone 7 is no longer supported nor receiving updates and is not far from belonging in a museum.
    Know what you don't

    It would help enormously if you said what type of activity you want to track. Walking? Running? Cycling? Gym work? Swimming? Yoga / Pilates? Skiing? Mountaineering?

    And what is your budget? £10, £100?
