Recommendations for Fitbit Style Watch

I have a FitBit Charge 4 watch which is wearing out. The actual bit on the watch face that joins the strap has bent. It's well out of warranty.
I would like a waterproof watch that receives texts/FB msgs, has inbuilt GPS to track runs, and looks smart enough to wear all day/every day.
I've had a few FitBits over the years, straps usually break and got new ones under warranty.
I'm tempted by Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 Fitness Tracker from PB Tech but unsure as it's much cheaper at $78. Just wondering if there's any other recommendations? Galaxy and Garmin look really nice but really pricey. Also looking at the Huawei Fit.
Love your feedback :-)

    Don't go for the 6, the 7 was the same price during Black Friday. The bands also don't have gps.

    Sorry to jump in on this OP, but I was wondering if someone could recommend a good budget watch that has Google Pay.

      NFC is what you are after.

        Even if the chinese brands have NFC, they wouldn't have Google Pay right?

        I've never had a smart watch before so I have no idea

          Only for Huawei which doesn't have android.

          As long as you get a domestic model there shouldn't be any problems but even an overseas model should still work fine.
