Galaxy Fit3

I have a samsung Galaxy Fit 3. Works just fine and it's like 50€

I'll second the fit 3. costs $50 but has most of the galaxy watch sensors, plus the battery lasts 5x longer

Hi, I'm currently using Strava for tracking my activities but I'd like to buy a smartwatch to track sports that make it impossible to have a phone on me (swimming, badminton) and get HR reading on other activities (inline skating, cycling). I was wondering about Amazfit BIP 6, because it's cheap, and syncs with Strava, but apparently Zepp app doesn't have a feature that allows sharing live location. Strava beacon is a very important safety feature for me, and I don't want to lose it. So I have 2 questions: 1. Is there relatively cheap smartwatch that works with android, syncs with Strava, has safety features like beacon and works for those four activities I listed? Or 2. Is it worth to buy Amazfit BIP 6 for badminton and swimming and HRM belt for inline skating and cycling? I am aware that a garmin watch would be perfect for me, but their products are way to expensive for me, also I don't want to make that kind of investement for a watch that might stop being supported by Strava (I don't want to switch apps, Strava has most of my physical activity from 2018).

Heart rate and time spent doing specific activity, but I don't want to use general "cardio mode" for everything that isn't swimming/cycling, because most of my activities would be "cardio". I don't run at all, my favorite sport is inline skating, so getting something that doesn't support that activity seems kind of pointless. Especially that idgaf about the running functions (since I don't run, lol). Anyway, I decided I'll get Samsung Galaxy Fit 3, since it's cheap, simple and small, also supports the activities I do.

I wear the Fit3 every day and rarely take it off unless I'm weighing myself or showering. I find sleep tracking is semi-decent, but sleep time seems to be based off when you're moving/not moving. Seems to pick up when I'm tossing and turning in the night pretty well, as well as when my partner wakes me getting up for work lmao

I am currently using Galaxy Fit 3. It doesn't has GPS and uses my phone's GPS. I need to carry my phone but that is not a problem for me. The only thing I feel missing is the current pace. It keeps changing 3-4 times per second and that too largely. So, I started looking for a GPS watch. I started with BIP6, then TRex3 and now I am looking at FR165 or Pace3, but they also feel like compromises. I am using a 30k phone and spending the same amount for a watch is what I am a little hesitant about.

Is there an option to automate intervals. Like after set time or distance, the watch pauses or starts a new lap with the rest in between I scheduled there in. My current watch which uses my phone's GPS is showing here that I was running on the top of buildings. This sometimes messes my split timing too. Is your watch better in this regard? https://preview.redd.it/zqisp7uv93yf1.png?width=1220&format=png&auto=webp&s=9307bd031bc9f5696607a8ce7a8a411d492f8fdc
