Apple Watch recommendation

Recommend me an Apple Watch for my son who has got into fitness and wants to be able to track steps and check emails plus get statistics about heart rate and blood pressure etc. I don’t want to spend silly money. I know nothing about them so please give me advice!

Apple Watches are silly money. I have a series 10 and it was about £400 I think. The current is a series 11. They do an SE but it doesn’t have all the same features. There is a comparison tool on Apple website.

I think the series 11 monitors blood pressure but no others do. Mine will tell me if I have hypertension and monitors something but not actual BP. The battery is quite poor. Needs daily charging but only takes an hour or so. It does everything else you need.

im stuck in the Apple ecosystem now but most people actually recommend garmin. Someone with more knowledge than me will come along with good info.
