Stylish fitness watch or tracker

I'd like a fitness watch, but I only want it to link to Strava and track my steps. Not bothered about heart rate/calories/sleep or any of that doodah.
The Garmin 55 keeps coming out on top for me when I do those questionnaires to find the best tracker for me (or is it a fitness watch!? I don't really know the difference?!) . But I don't like the look of it. It's too big and chunky and rubbery and plastic looking 😂.

I prefer the square dark watch things - they look more elegant, but I think they are Apple watches, is that right? I have a Samsung so I don't think that will work.

What cool/stylish/colourful watches do people have that sync with Strava, please? Thanks!

Bumping because I'd like to know too! Preferably a waterproof one that I can take swimming

Fitbit versas look similar to an apple watch! They should work with strava if google is correct.

I've had a fitbit versa (the first one) and it was great! I only switched from fitbit as I wanted more of a smart watch than a fitness tracker.

I can confirm that Fitbit Versa does work with Strava, and has that sleeker square face look of an Apple Watch.

Looks great - thanks! I would also be interested in the swimming ones, unless this does the job too?

I swim in my Versa 3. I can change the pool length in settings on the app and it magically knows when I turn at the end of a length. When you choose 'swim' as the exercise and hit start it engages a water lock.

I picked up a barely used Vivosmart.5 (Garmin) for £70 delivered. They are selling new now on eBay for £100. I believe that if you have your phone with you while exercising (for the journey-distance tracking), it can do what you want & is not huge & clunky: I refuse to wear chunky Act.Tracker.

Apple Watches link with Strava and are waterproof!
