I'm trying to move away from a fitbit, once in a while I forget to charge it and I have to install the app and fork over all of my data to fitbit to set the time.

Anyone have any recommendations, I need something with a decent heart monitor, that's really the only thing I care about.

I use the Fossil Collider HR with Gadgetbridge and it's pretty great. Three are some downsides though:

  • The set-up is a little bit of a hassle. You need to get the Collider's secret key, and that requires installing a jailbroken version of the Fossil app
  • Any changes you want to make to the watch display have to be made in the Fossil app, which means you have to install that app and do a bit of a runaround whenever you want to change something

But aside from that, it's been a good year with my Collider HR and Gadgetbridge
