Garmin is your best bet. Sure they compile all of your data, but according to their policy, they don't share that with anyone else. You can also request that your data be deleted.
Your best bet is using an app that doesn't count to the internet
Sure, but I feel Garmin is the best bet amongst the ones that do. Atleast until they get bought or acquired by somebody else, god forbid.
Maybe you can use PineTime with a companion app.
I have the watch, it will only monitor heart rate and count steps, if you want to know the distance I think you need to pair it with a phone.
I use Garmin and often use Fitotrack.
Polar is excellent and has a robust personal data privacy policy.
I have a Suunto and I'm sure they don't sell my data to third parties.
