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)
I bought a Garmin 265 a couple of months ago after moving from iPhone/Apple Watch to GrapheneOS. I have never installed the Garmin app or created an account there. Most features of the watch works normally.

+1 to Gadgetbridge. Some smartwatches like CMF Watch Pro 2 by Nothing does not require the official app to set up the watch
