Garmin over Fitbit all the way. (waterproof, durable, more geared to athletics than socializing)
From there, you go down the rabbit-hole that is Garmin's product lineup. You seem to be leaning toward "smartwatch" format so I'll ignore stuff like the Vivosport/Vivosmart 3 which are "bands".
Got an upper limit on the budget?
Fenix 3 (get the "HR" version) is a generation older so it'll lack some of the latest features like 1-second interval HR tracking. It's also "comically large." Try one on before you commit. Gorgeous watch though and the 5-button UI is fantastic.
Of the same generation as the F3 is the Vivoactive HR. Not as pretty but it's a stealth best value (often sub-$150CAD, $100USD). Touchscreen + two button UI. For what these cost now, they kick the crap out of everything in that price-class, tracking just about any activity you want, plus connecting to external sensors.
Vivoactive 3 (VAHR successor) would be a great choice too if that's within budget. They're often on sale.
BTW: when I started going back to the gym, I was manually logging stuff in MFP but wanted more accuracy, hence picking up a Garmin. Recent Garmin Connect updates include badges that gamify things even more. I'd be lying if I said a wearable hasn't, at times, gotten me off the couch just to one-up my yesterday. I have a bunch of Garmin-connected friends who are motivators.
