As above really, want to get one for someone's present but looking for recommendations - minimal over bulky preferably.

Depends what phone, but I use this:

Once it's on I forget about it, apart from Endomondo on my phone constantly telling me it's lost signal (I have now bought a Garmin watch).

I've got a Belkin one. It also has a key holder and the touch screen kind of works.

I got a cheap one from Sports Direct, cost about £3. Worked fine but I don't use it anymore cos they make you look like a nob IMO. 😆

I got a cheap one from Camden market a couple of years ago, it works. Main thing is to check the phone fits, unless it's an iPhone 4 it can be a bit of a nightmare getting one.

I got a £5 ebay number. It's only just small enough to stay tight on my biceps (which as you know are not tiny), so shop around.
