Any suggestions for a FitBit type thing around the £20 mark for one of the kids? Doesn’t need to be fancy, doesn’t need HR (but fine if it does), waterproof would be nice I guess. I know you can’t expect top quality for that price, but half decent reliability would be nice. Low budget due to high odds of losing it. Like the last two.

I have a huwaie band. Its actually the gps one but there are lesser featured models that probably fit in that price band.

I've got a Xiaomi Mi Band 4

It's really good as a basic device

Got the Mi Band 4 also, pretty decent for the cash and a charge lasts weeks.

I have the Mi Band 4 as well.

Counts steps. (...Sometimes when you've told it you're doing a cycling workout, even ! ...)
😉 Has a wrist HRM. Will make a guess at distance if you tell it you're on a treadmill (i.e. Don't want to lug your phone around and get the phone GPS to talk to the band via the Mi Fit app) ... A guess which is a bit short (measures 5k as 4.4k) but not stupidly bad. Otherwise will use phone & its gps.

Will display notifications which is pretty useful if a text / whatsapp / FB messenger comes in, and with a cheap app will also show directions from Google Maps which is handy sometimes - not to mention that often I leave the phone on silent so the band vibration on incoming call is good. Also have used Find My Phone.

Bought a pack of 13 different bands for it for £9 so have whatever colour I like too, which is surprisingly pleasing.
