I like fitbit but that’s because I basically strictly use it for calorie counting. The battery life is good enough that I just charge it when I’m in the shower and it’ll never die on me.

Has anyone tried the current Ticwatch Pro? I heard decent things about the previous model but I'm a bit leery of the their app on my phone, plus that they are still pending a WearOS update and various features (Google assistant etc)

Coros Pace 2. Cheaper than the entry level Garmin and just as capable.

Really wish there was an Android watch that was as reliable and responsive as Apple Watches

none of them, i’d rather not have any extra data on me out there that’s digitally storing it anywhere, even locally.

i keep my odometer and a pulse monitor with me, but they’re both local dumb.

Currently wearing a mechanical watch. No data collection, no batteries, and it has radioactive tubes that glow for decades so I can see what time it is at night with zero effort.

If I wanna track fitness I'll open vim and record it there.

None. I'm one of these oldtimers who has that backward opinion that a thing has to do one thing, but that very good, so I wear a brick of steel that's actually ticking away that I have to check once a month, if it's on time. Plus every 4 years it's gotta have an oiling. On the other side: no batteries to charge. And my fitness tracker is my fat belly ;) kinda fit, kinda fat.
