@gangrif@social.undrground.org not sure if it supports what you need, but I have loved my Garmin devices (currently on a Fenix 6X). Bonus points that I sync it via Gadgetbridge, so no cloud dependency.

@ennenine@mastodon.social just did a little research around the health monitoring, and apple, vs pixel, vs garmin watches. Sounds like staying away form the pixel is a no-brainer. It does support the features, but graphene with the pixel watch is just a step backwards. apple actually does a really good job of handling health data, and theyre better on protecting privacy against app vendors, but they themselves harvest a ton of data about their users. They just dont let others do it. That somehow feels worse. Seems like Garmin plus Graphene is the right path if "ive goddamn had enough of this" is your approach. Garmin still gets your data, but theyre apparently pretty good about using it (or not using it). So i guess all i need to do now is save up $1500 for a pixel phone to wipe, and a Garmin venue (since its the cheapest one).
