Fitness Tracker or Smartwatch

I'm looking at getting a fitness tracker or a smartwatch. There are so many choices and I'm wondering if you guys could give me some advice. I am looking for it to do the following:

1. Track daily activity / workouts (Weightlifting is my preferred workout)
2. HR Monitor
3. Normal Watch functions

I'm possibly leaning towards a fitness Smartwatch to use some features other than the fitness tracking, but I'm not sure if I want to spend the cash.

Thanks :-)

    Gotta recommend Apple Watch series 2 or 3. I use it to track my runs, swims and strength sessions with PT (although I appreciate its only really accurate for steady cardio). Rarely crashes and looks good too.

    I just got the Alta HR by fitbit, and a coworker just got the Charge 2 because he thought the Alta wasn't manly enough. They both do about the same function. They're running brand new on eBay for about $100 too so you might save more money compared to other trackers with a heart rate monitor included.
