Apple Watch or Fitbit

Please help, I am so confused.

I want to buy an Apple Watch or similar, but I am confused about what I need.

I need it to alert me to incoming calls.
Ideally I need it to show me messages like text or WhatsApp, and preferably to be able to respond to messages directly from the watch. This is the main issue as I go to lots of formal meetings where I can't have my phone out but it would be in a bag next to me.

I don't need it to work when away from my phone so don't need cellular.

Ideally I'd also like it to have google maps and Apple Pay, is Apple Pay only on Apple Watch?

I don't want to spend more than £250

I also don't want something cheap and crap

Looking at Apple Watch SE 2 or Fitbit but unsure which model? Can anyone help with whether I can respond to texts and WhatsApp's on any of these?

I have an Apple Watch 7 and it does all you want. Can’t do WhatsApp calls though, only texts. Don’t know about earlier models.
