I’m looking for advice on a privacy friendly fitness tracker. One that doesn’t require storing my personal data on a third party site, where I can sync the data locally using an open source program. I do have a PineTime but it doesn’t really track metrics and I question the accuracy of the heat rate monitor. FitBit is owned by google, and I don’t want an Apple Watch. Any recommendations?

    I have the Garmin instinct 2 and you don’t need to pair it to a phone. Pairing it only provides a backup and a few pieces of information you can’t get without the pairing. That way the data stays completely on the watch.
