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.

    Woooow, I did not know about this. Many of these devices easily cost $600+ new and they want us to pay a subscription fee? Also, they can’t even provide data export in a useful consistent and nonshitty format.

    I get great utility out of my Garmin watch and Bike Computer, but there are a lot of alternatives now and we may even be able to cobble together a solid open source stack to replace Garmin/Strava/Trail Websites sometime in the next few years.

    I’m not in the market for a new device yet, but when I change, I will be sure to give the alternatives a shot.
