Hi,

I'm planning to get a Smartwatch/Fitness tracker for daily use. Looking for something to be,
- Aesthetically good looking
- watch-proof as i might be wearing to run.
- Bluetooth+Internal storage as i might paired it with a wireless headset to go out for run/gym
- good to have those heartrate/fitness/calories those kind of tracker
(in this order)

Sorry, i read a lot of reviews and got a bit over-loaded with all the information. A bit hard to get one that is aesthetically good+functional+water proof. (Leather watch to run a bit over)

EDIT: Android phone user here.

Consider the Samsung Gear S3. It looks very good as a watch - choose from either the Classic or Frontier versions depending on your preferred look.

It is IP68 certified - meaning water proof enough for your purposes although you can't swim with it. It has all the fitness functions that you need and if you get the Frontier version that comes with LTE, you can even make calls etc on your watch without bringing your phone with you during your workout!

Unlike other Android Wear smartwatches, the Gear S3 runs on its own OS (Tizen) which has fewer apps on the apps market. In return, you get Samsung Pay on your watch (buy a drink on your run without wallet or phone), the critically acclaimed rotating bezel to control watch functions and an Always On Display (AOD). The lugs are also standard 22mm ones, meaning you can buy lots of third party straps (get those with quick release pins), and you can change your watch straps to your heart's content - leather or metal for style, silicone or canvas for workouts, the choice is yours!

The Gear S3 is arguably one of the best smartwatches available right now, even when considering the Apple Watch. And it fits all your needs.

Yeah, I'm actually looking at it, but the price of about 550 seems very pricy to me. If with headset might even cost me near to 1k already.
Looking for alternatives and advise very gurus around. if no then i might consider this S3.

The Samsung Gear S3 seems to be the best bet. Plus it looks beautiful also.
