Thanks...one option is sharing your data from Proton back to google, which I was trying to get away from. The other involves a closed source paid app, which I'd also avoid. I'm guessing I'll have to lay down my own caldav sync container/server to sync from.

Yes, it gives you notifications on events about to happens (or for which you have set a timed notification ahead of the time). But can you get a week overview? Or a day overview? Do you have a calendar in the watch? Because I do, and mine is empty because it can't sync with proton (mind you, I still receive notifications for the events coming in 30mins, or a day ahead if I set it that way on the proton calendar app...but I can't view the event itself, just the notification of it!).

Android itself (GrapheneOS in my case) isn't getting calendar events, because Proton Calendar isn't an Android Calendar app. If you click on your Permission Manager, you can see the different kinds of permission specific apps can request. As in, access to the phone, to the cameras, to the SMS, to the files....to the CALENDAR. Guess which app doesn't even bother to use the Android calendar infrastructure laid for them? Because internally it's not officially an android calendar app, at least not internally in its manifest.

Sure. But you should be able to decrypt it, so you can use your favored application, if so you choose. Or your favored OS. Which in my case is GrapheneOS. So I'm already in a kinda private environment. I can trust the internal OS not to talk to GOS. And I can trust my watch to do the same, because it's locked completely thanks to Gadgetbridge. The official companion app only saw the watch in the initial pairing/key exchange, in a garbage separate profile that doesn't hold any useful data, and it was removed immediately after. As you can see, my scenario is full data lockdown, and yet I can't choose my favored app to use in my trusted zone.

Yeah... I'm afraid i might need something like that in the end. Can you hold events in different color for different categories of things?

While they're reinventing the wheel at every step, the default email protocols involve your email being unencrypted at every hop until it reaches destination. While their solution in effect also has the same issue, they allow for sending encrypted emails you can only open by clicking on a link to decrypt them, or similar. And everything at their end is fully encrypted, which is why i bought in...But its getting old at how everything is a closed ecosystem not playing nice with anything else in any OS.

Awesome... Thanks! On second thought i think I'll hold out about the esim part. I can control the privacy on my phone decently enough but that would fly out of the window if the smart watch can call home on its own.

Hmmm the music storage... How does it work? Can you just send an mp3? Or does it need to be from a specific service? Bummer about the esim, I was wanting to rid of the phone while I'm out running.

Now your comment has piqued my curiosity...I never considered a bigger smartwatch, and have kept myselft mostly to the Xiaomi band, which does more or less what I need it to...But I'm now curious how well does a Garmin cover the main points for me: -Read messages from SMS, Whatsapp, Telegram, etc (can I also reply to them, maybe voice-type or similar?) -Obviously tracking fitness, routes, heart rate and sleep etc it is probably way bounds out of the miband's league. -Can it pair to a headphone and use it to play music during a fitness run? Does it have esim support or similar to use data? (these are a clear no-no on the miband, but then again, heh...about 25 bucks it costed me!).

Sugar? You mean, "apple juice"?. Check your juices next time. They'll never day added sugar. But somehow you always get apple juice.
