Default Smart Watch

I'm thinking of getting a smart watch to link to my iPhone 6, any recommendations? I'm not paying for the expensive Apple one.
It's mainly for work so don't want to spend a lot, as it probably will get damaged.
I mainly want it to notify me on calls/texts as I don't always have my phone on me.

If you don't have your phone on you you're pretty much out of luck with a cheap smart watch. Apple Watch will do it if on WiFi, can be had for less than £200.

Just can't justify £200, for something that will more than likely get damaged.

I don't recommended the Apple Watch as it's much more a want than a need, spend less and you'll get even less i.e in a drawer after a few weeks.

I would save your cash, I got given a Gear neon and it's been sat in a drawer for over a year. Your only going to read your txt on it so an expensive extra.
