Good, inexpensive fitness trackers? (beehaw.org)

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.

Looks like nobody is selling it. Do you know where it can be purchased?

Just a heads up, they released the watch and buds internationally yesterday. They are mostly selling on Amazon and Ali express now I read from an email I got. Here's the list if you're still interested https://intl.cmf.tech/blogs/news/cmf-by-nothing-expands-availability

Nope. It's pretty new, only seen it on YouTube. But that's the one I'm digging.

I like it too. Also looking at the pixel 2, but that has a spicy price
