I hope you can help!!

my husband is a severe technophobe! (At 35)
he has an iPhone but hates it for anything other than calls / texts.

he doesn’t want a smart watch he just wants a fitness tracker for running / exercise tracking. It doesn’t have to link to his phone, not bothered about what it looks like. He just wants to be able to see & track his runs.

any recommendations?? Not super bothered about price but for the above I don’t really wanna spend much 😂

I have only ever had an Apple Watch which I use which is his idea of hell

Garmin watches are great for fitness tracking and running. Some of them are expensive but they have a decent range and the battery is amazing last ages before needing charged.

I use Garmin they are brilliant. The app is fantastic and they do hold the charge. I am also a runner
