I would like to use a smart watch with health tracking (e.g pulse, steps, sleep tracking) but I don’t want to setup an account and send my data to a proprietary cloud.

Can I sit host ‘tge cloud’.

If not, can you recommend any watch which i can just sync data from watch to my Linux laptop (again: no account, etc)

Thanx

    Do you happen to own one? If yes, how do you feel about it?

    For example, in the PineTime there is a heart rate monitor, but it’s too slow and imprecise. Notifications work great, and the battery lasts 20 days or more. How about the Bangle.js 2?

      I do own one and I love it, but I have similar complaints about the heart rate monitor. I just don’t use it enough to have it matter. sleep tracking works pretty okay, though.
