I'd like to use Strava to track my runs and all the other glorious data it brings. At the moment I use a phone strap on my arm and bring it along that way, which is a bit cumbersome but works fine.

I'd like to forgo the phone and maybe use a Fitbit/Garmin/other watch. But I also want to still be able to listen to audiobooks/Spotify while on the majority of my runs where I'm not chasing a PR.

Is there a watch that can do this out there? Currently, everything similar I've seen would require me to still bring the phone with me anyway so it seems a bit pointless for my uses. Do I just need to accept that the phone strap is as good as it gets for now?
