So for Christmas i kindly got given this SwAp Watch which didnt work so had to send it back but i cannot get another one as they have none left. (its price fluctuates from 130 all the way up to 300 pound !!) but i need to know another one for my grandparents to get me now. Its basically a watch that pairs to your phone , but i know there are loads out there but i don't know which one to get. theres ones like the Pebble the Nike fuel band etc

 

Btw i would like it to be usable when doing sport as i am a very active person. Plus it needs to look stylish so i can wear it in every day life. Thanks guys dunno if you can help 

 

EDIT: Though i better include that i have an IPHONE 5 ( as some pair with your phone so that might be important info)

I've never thought of watches that you can wear during sport as being stylish enough to wear out and about. Shouldn't you be focusing on the game at hand anyway? ;)

Each to their own though.

 

I was going to recommend the Pebble Steel but it's not really sport friendly.

i have the same problem. if you have the nike+ shoes you could just buy the tracker pod but you have the iphone 5 which comes with a free nike + app with gps tracking,( personally i have the gps watch because i don't like running with my phone, i live in sierra leone)

so all you wuld have to do is buy an arm strap. and for style i have the pebble steel. just came in and im liking it

it would be mainly for daily use however as i am so active if it can be used when doing sports such as running or going to the gym.

the fuelband is kind of like a glorified pedometer. it tracks only movement. not speed, distance, or location

 

and i just got mine but my first impressions are favorable
