I'm tryna track my calories more closely and I've got a solution for tracking the calories I eat (shout out to the Nutritionix app) but its functionality for tracking calories spent is very rudimentary and I want to get something more precise than just going to an online calculator like this.

If any of yall have recommendations on cheap wearables that'll keep track of the calories I burn while exercising, I'd hugely appreciate it. I don't need it to do anything else and I don't even need it to connect to my phone, since I'm willing to manually input the number of calories burned every day.

not the answer you are looking for but i have nothing better to contribute

On the privacy aspect specifically, you could try finding a wearable that is supported by gadgetbridge: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge

That way at least you know that your info is not being sent to some corporation. You would still need to use your phone though.
