Uh, don’t give Fitbit your data.

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can you recommend an alternative?

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If your happy to wear a fitness tracker there are lots of options by companies such as Garmin.

Not sure about phone only ones

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I already have a Pixel Watch that I actually like quite a lot and enjoy the information summaries available via Fitbit. I guess what I'm asking for are open source alternatives to Fitbit that can collate the data and present it back to me in a beautiful fashion rather than new hardware?

My watch is very much an extension of my phone experience rather than an individual thing like fitness or sleep tracking. Being able to read notifications, answer phone calls and control my music are imperative to my user experience and the sleep and fitness tracking for me are just bonuses.

Most trackers will only sync with their manufacturers app (therefore giving them the data)

it might be different with a full on smart watch as I assume you can install fitness apps on it?

[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 1 points 11 months ago

Yep. Can actually install quite a lot on it.
