I have been using the Mi Band for years which I generally like, although it’s quite a simple device

  • @cinaed666 @twotone I also have the Forerunner 55.

    Something to note is that Garmin watches are Linux-friendly and can be used without signing up to their cloud services. You can access the watch as a USB storage device and manually grab the .FIT files on it, which you can then import into tools of your choice (or convert to .GPX for wider compatibility).

      I’m very aware of this thanks, however for training to run I went for convenience.
      I like comparing with my friends in the app and using the training plans etc.
      The fit to gpx converter is a good way to extract hiking data though!
