My main reason for wanting to get rid of it is indeed #BuyFromEU based, but tbh I'm also still using my google pixel (looking to install Graphene once I bought my appartement, don't want to risk issues with my bank app right now)

Probably getting a withings watch soon(tm)

There are lots of European smartwatches as well. I too had a garmin but after the united states declared war on canada we have/are purging all US tech/products from our house.

Withings is french :)

My main issue has always been battery life, garmin was and still seems like the only watch able to go so long on 1 charge (outside of withings, but those are hybrid watches)

Polar was on my radar but still crazy expensive for meh battery life (my #1 requirement)

I had a garmin instinct solar 2 and that battery life was approximately 29 days so I hear you.

Check out suunto! Similar to garmin and some of their offerings have similar battery. The suunto cores battery is 12 months in watch only mode according to their site.

This was in my mind but I don't spend money easily so intend to replace it when it breaks.

I'll need to reassess if the US invades
