I fully expect this to be an “I don’t think there’s any good replacement” scenario, but I’d love to hear some options. I also know that this isn’t a good time to really make expensive purchases, and I don’t plan to make the purchase, but I’d like to hear people’s thoughts and bits of knowledge on smartwatches, or fitness-tracking watches / wearables.

So what’s your non-US, non-CN (yeah I have more than just a non-US constraint) option? Anything good out there?

I know there might be a revive of the Pebble but it’s not great for fitness tracking, and there’s no plan to go in that direction for now. And it might still be a US product.

Withings? It’s French.

I meant to reply after looking into Withings but I forgot about it. Thank you for sharing about Withings!

Withings looks good. Privacy policy (iirc) lists all of the third party services it uses that may hold customer data, and not many of them are from the US either (and when they do, it’s meant for US customers). Didn’t sound like they share much with these services either.

It’s a bit of a shame that you need a subscription for the health and fitness improvement stuff (via Withings+), but it does look like you get all the regular metrics with just having the watch.

I do wonder if those data can be exported without having to go through Apple Health or Health Connect, but I guess I’m not gonna holding my breath there.
