Can just about make out a snooker table in the top 
I wonder if these will catch on, or if they can be resetâŚ

Iâm looking for an activity/fitness sort of watch with a good battery and that is pleasing on the eye that you can wear every day. Anyone care to recommend something that they know is good? Donât want to pay silly money obviously but happy enough going to âŹ250-300 sort of range if itâs worth it. I was in an electrical shop the other day and all they had was Huawei smart watches (in the watches section I mean). I have an older cheaper Garmin and itâs very basic and battery life is terrible.
@caulifloweredneanderthal was telling me about one that is like the Garmin Fenix but a lot cheaper. Canât remember the name of it though but Iâm sure he can
now that the missusâ significant birthday has come and gone and been a rousing success, ive been dropping heavy hints for my significant birthday in 2 years time.
hopefully on that morning, this will be sitting wrapped on the kitchen table with the card

The Coros Pace 2.
Comes in a darker colour too @Smark. Decathlon were selling them too, but I think we are boycotting them at the moment.
Unrale battery by all accounts. Looking at getting one myself. Price will only go up on them

Forerunner 255 has just been released. Think it is at top end of your budget.

Similar battery life to the Fenix. Main difference in functionality is the navigation and elevation in the Fenix. But the Fenix is 600 quid odd. Thatâs a savage watch for the price
Unrale. Might upgrade before the year is out, but will see.
I got this one smark.
You can find them for about âŹ150 Iâd say, but no more than âŹ200. You can change the watch face to something better than on that image. You can even change the watch face to a photo on your phone and have the clock on top. It syncs messages and other apps notifications that come onto your phone.
And it works well as a fitness tracker and syncs to strava and all that too. It can sync music from your phone and control it from the watch. Battery is very good. Easily get 5 days out of it. Charges to full in less than an hour I reckon. You can set a revolut card up on it too and use it for contactless payment.
Theres probably better out there or newer ones, but I found this one a good watch.

I love the Apple Watch as well but the battery could be better.

2 charges a month, does everything that you could possibly need from a smartwatch. Iâve had em all and there is not a better product than Huawei on the market. They must be doing something very right when the yanks decided to ban them
As it so happens I was reading the business post after work and in a pull out theyâd a page about the best smart watches. I liked the look of this one the most:
Thatâs what I wear
Very good battery, mostly a sports watch though, not touch screen, you canât control your music or podders
Have you the 245 music or 245 ordinary? Ad I read made out you could download 700 songs from Spotify to the music version to be listened to in offline mode. Presume youâd need wireless buds to do so. Is this not the case?
You need to clean your curtains
