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)

Thanx

the Bangle.js 2 has all of those features and works with gadgetbridge like the pinetime

Do you happen to own one? If yes, how do you feel about it?

For example, in the PineTime there is a heart rate monitor, but it's too slow and imprecise. Notifications work great, and the battery lasts 20 days or more. How about the Bangle.js 2?

I do own one and I love it, but I have similar complaints about the heart rate monitor. I just don't use it enough to have it matter. sleep tracking works pretty okay, though.
