Is there something like a fitness bracelet without a display that one could wear? I already have an old school Casio digital watch, and I like to too much to replace it with a smartwatch.

Perhaps a Fitbit Flex? I haven't really looked into it but there are a few fitness bands that exist without a screen.

My cousin has a tracker ring and it's pretty cool

Check. I’ve been looking at something like that as well, but it comes with a $6/mo subscription model on up of the $370 price for the ring itself. The subscription model made me not want it anymore.

Eh I would have done the same!

I rocked a Casio F-91W for years, then a Huawei smartwatch a couple years before getting a Garmin Instinct 2.

Design is reminiscent of a casio digital, the display is always on and gets brighter if external light is shone on it, no touchscreen, contactless payment, a charge lasts me about 3 weeks.

320€ is expensive but is exactly what I need from a smartwatch :)
