Withings. Small oled display, looks like an analog watch until you use it. Ton of sensors to monitor your health, or none if you don't want that. And a huge battery. Like huge enough to lose the charger between charges 😆

I'll second this, stupid good battery life but a fairly simple watch. Doesn't do apps but it does health tracking and notifications and it's pretty good at looking like a watch instead of a toy.

Don't they demand a subscription for any useful data like Ouraring does?

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

The subscription is totally optional. I never bought it, and I get everything I need on the app.

Easily the best actual watch with sensors option. Love mine, and being waterproof too is fantastic.
