"The best one is to save money and get a proper decent smart watch from Huawei or etc on sale. If you don't mind scuffed software but are still adamant on a smartwatch aukey sells a surprisingly long lasting decent watch. Ultimately the software is key and you want to stick with someone who will update."

"Mi band 9 is amazing for the price. Small and does all you asked for, except maybe receive calls? Look around shopee, I got mine about 80 bux."
"Mi Band for sure. I believe the current version is the 9th gen, but I'm still truly impressed at the features of my Mi Band 8 despite only costing about RM100."

"Not tech savvy too, just got a galaxy fit3 and it's working great"
"U can get a samsung fit 3 with your budget. Garmin u can buy next time when u dah kerja or when u memang dah enjoy running. Apple is mahal and you need to charge EVERYDAY. Mi has many functions for the same price as other health bands. Tapi I pernah beli Mi 1x and kinda dun wanna use Mi anymore. Personal preference. OP, this is the right way to go. My health improved a lot after I started monitoring my steps, weight, heartbeat. Wishing u the best with your health."

"Actually it's pretty much average. If you come from Xiaomi Mi band you definitely gonna fill the difference. Even apple watch you would need to daily charge. At the end you would just ended up using the smart watch occasionally. Confirm Spotify Premium for offline use is working on galaxy watch. But upon trying its a very slow download haha."

"Garmin Forerunner 55? Maybe consider getting secondhand. the price I got it few days ago is RM562 for new watch.. Probably cheaper if you find it in Carousell. it will last you for a long time."

"RM400 and wanting contactless payment? That is difficult. Perhaps 2nd hand Samsung or Apple Watch"
