Hi other privacy people :)
I am currently looking for a fitness tracker that at least doesn’t need a proprietary app to get the data out of it. Haven’t really found any recent articles that look into that aspect of fitness trackers, any advice?
I know about the bangle.js but wanted to know if there is more. Also, if you have this device and use it to track your running, I would be happy to read your review!
Thanks in advance!
While this may not be what you’re looking for, it’s worth mentioning that a good ol’ pencil and paper does wonders. It won’t have everything you need, but you can time how long you ran for with a stopwatch, count how many pushups you do, manually measure your pulse, etc. If you’re good with data processing you can stick the data in a spreadsheet and process it to see your progress. The bonus is you’ll learn a lot more about health through doing it yourself. Besides that, I’ve never used a smart watch or fitness tracker. I’ve just exercised until I get tired.
