I’m trying to move away from a fitbit, once in a while I forget to charge it and I have to install the app and fork over all of my data to fitbit to set the time.
Anyone have any recommendations, I need something with a decent heart monitor, that’s really the only thing I care about.
Only one I recall (smartwatch open source)

Does this fit the bill for you?
That’s pretty cool but I don’t even wear a dumb watch, let alone a smart one.
Maybe a watch supported by asteroid os is something.
Some models have support for heart monitor. Don’t know if there is a fitness app or something like that.
I’ve been considering the Bangle.js 2, and while I don’t think the heart rate monitor is really good yet, there is active development and discussion about how to make it better. If you’re interested in helping out, this could be a fun project!
Was going to ask if anyone owned a bangle.js 2, it’s on the top of my list so far but still unsure whether to pull the trigger
I’m pretty sure Garmin has a good privacy policy - mozilla seemed to like them - and I got a fenix6 sapphire on ebay used for about $250 and I love it. Way better than my apple watch, particularly because I care more about fitness tracking and hate having texts show up on my watch.
