I’m looking for a watch that can track my heart rate, stay on my tiny wrist, and that doesn’t cost a lot only to break frequently. Fitbit is….no longer meeting that criteria and was honestly out of my budget to begin with, but i am nervous about spending money again on something random that could also break just as quickly.

Any recommendations ? I have heard about pinetime, but I don’t have a computer or many technical skills - I couldn’t tell from the website if that device requires setup or tinkering to work? I basically just want to be able to look at my wrist and see my heart rate and what time it is. Nothing fancy, I don’t even really need it to sync to my phone, a long as it works for a few years and isn’t $90.

    Been using a Suunto 5 Peak watch since May and it’s been absolutely great. Dunno if 250€ counts as inexpensive, but like we say in Finland, poor people can’t afford to buy cheap shit that breaks right away. (I think they have cheaper options?) Suunto watches talk to phone app which at least on Android is pretty great, and the app can talk to other services which can analyse stuff further.
