Thanks to those who recommended Gadgetbridge to me! After some research, I got an Amazfit Active on a great deal. Set up with its app, it showed ridiculously low battery consumption, but the phone, on the other hand, started being drained by the app's consumption. I installed Gadgetbridge - night and day. Now the phone's battery consumption is ridiculous, and it seems to work even better. And it outperforms my previous Galaxy Watch in many of the activities I need. For example, if I sleep, it doesn’t vibrate – unlike the Galaxy, which, even on Samsung devices, needed to be manually set to Do Not Disturb.

@[email protected] Nice! I don't use a very smart watch, but have a few Casio G-Shock Squares with Bluetooth functionally. And there's also an open source app to manage those and it works on GrapheneOS as well. :-) No sleep tracking, though...

@[email protected] I don't know how accurate this device is for sleep tracking, but I'll keep an eye on it and compare its results with the ones I've collected in two years of Galaxy Watch and other years of Apple Watch use.
Last night it measured correctly the time I fell asleep and woke up - also during the night, so it looks promising.
