Smart watch recommendation

Hiya, I'm looking for a new smart watch, probably around the £50/60 mark. I don't need GPS so probably looking for a fairly basic one for steps/heart rate/sleep. Hopefully one without an integrated strap as the last couple I've had (fit bit and a samsung) the plastic strap has broken and then can't be replaced. I've got an android phone so probably not apple. Thank you!

Samsung Fit3 would meet your criteria. Band is replaceable, decent battery life.

@unsync thanks, I think that's the one I had previously and the straps a pain. Breaks really easily, non replaceable and does up in a weird way!

I've had mine a while and the strap has been fine so far. It is a bit weird in that the 'tail' end tucks inside, but having had a Fit2, I'm used to that. The strap is replaceable though and you can get lots of aftermarket ones which may be sturdier.

My only other recommendation would be a Suunto. I use that for swimming open water, but they are not cheap. You can usually pick up 2nd hand ones relatively cheaply though.
