Can someone recommend a "hacker compatible" smart watch/fitness tracker? One that never connects to any cloud, one where I can SSH on it? <3 One that is less complex than Android/Wear OS?

The most important feature would be precise heart rate tracking over the course of the day. Ideally, I'd like to write new apps for it? I'm sure something like that must exist? :D

@blinry unfortunately I think to get good data you need one of the expensive cloud-heavy ones, the enthusiast devices usually have subpar health tracking. I wore a Pebble for years, it basically took an educated guess at heart rate, while my Pixel Watch 1 is spot on and has a very high temporal resolution
