    I use open tracks on my phone to track my bike rides and I'm interested in looking at HR during those rides so I was hoping that would work with the Bangle watch. At least it looks like there might be potential for it!

    Do you think that this watch would work as a fitness watch? I've been doing some research on watches that are a little more privacy focused because I don't feel comfortable with a company holding a ton of my personal data. Especially health related data.

    So far it seems like this one could be a contender if the HR sensor is good enough. The only other brand that I saw that might be ok is Garmin as long as I don't connect to the app. I'm purely interested in the fitness side of it and don't plan on wearing it when not exercising.
