I'm after a smart watch for the OH for her birthday, but a bit overwhelmed by choice.

After a Chinese brand... With:

GPS
Phone connectivity / notifications
Heart rate and Blood pressure
Few different face options

Has anyone got any experience / knowledge / recommendations?

(She also has really small wrists... So nothing ft in diameter as per current fashions..!)

Yep, I have bought two, and both were as good as a chocolate teapot. One was really cheap, and the other a little more expensive. Like most Chinese sellers, they are quick to sell you something, but reluctant to help you out when things go wrong. Ebay generally sort things out in the end, but it always takes a while.

Budget is nominally £100 ish, though she had an iSUP last year. So spending less or more wouldn't be an issue.

She is gently into exercise, and it would be nice to track some of the activities.

There is a very wide range in quality of the Chinese brands, and I was trying to track down some of the better ones without paying some of the big name taxes. I will have a look at the Huawei 's.
