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

Thx. Interesting. But a bit to expensive.

Is there really no watch i can just connect to my pc and transfer data?

On android opentracks, fitotracks etc are great applications.

Yeah, it kinda sucks how cloud reliant most smart watches are. Like other people in the thread mentioned I think stuff like the pine time, bangle js, etc are probably your best bet for cheaper ones.

There's also asteroidOS which you can flash onto certain older smart watches. It's what I'm currently using but there isn't as much support for it so for more complicated data tracking would require setting up something like a raspberry pi to periodically fetch data over Bluetooth and process it yourself.
