@HodgesC@mas.to @mclare@recurse.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr I haven’t even looked into Fitbit, but more serious things like Polar and Garmin watches, that *used to* have local software, now seem to only have accounts and web apps.

@nerdbear@masto.ai @mclare@recurse.social My only experience of Polar was with analogue chest strap HR monitors that you could only read on the watch that came with them, and I've resisted any form of smartwatch. With Garmin I suspect you could download a .FIT and pass it through GPSbabel, but only after setting up the device via an account. But I've been using my phone to navigate long-distance cycling for years now; OSMand looks like it would do the job if my current choice stops
