Any recommendations for a privacy friendly smart watch? (feddit.nl)

I currently take my phone with me while running, but it's very annoying to take imo.

Like the title says, is there a privacy friendly smart watch that could track my sport activities?

Bonus if it can also sync the data to my private server / NAS :D

Get a Mi band and use Gadgetbridge instead of the official app

The Smart Band 7 with Gadgetbridge is great! You can track a ton and your data stays on your devices instead of being sent to China. Unless that's your thing. You be you.

That's my setup (Mi Band 7). It works better than I anticipated. I want it to be as little in the way as possible (no notifications and vibrations), which this allows me to do. Can export database for processing elaewhere.
