I couldn't find any when I looked around a couple of years ago. Anything these days? And if none are floating on the market, are there any decent wrist watches that respect your privacy and don't send all the dam data home?

there are different approaches to this, but some of these links should help:

Hardware:

https://banglejs.com/

https://pine64.org/devices/pinetime/

OS: https://asteroidos.org/

Gadgetbridge:

I personally use a garmin, which is paired to gadgetbridge

DIY: https://open-smartwatch.github.io/

+1 for PineTime. I have had mine now for 3-4 years. Love the little guy

Been curious on pine time. But I'm no developer, just a tinkerer. What can you do on it now?

+1 for the BangleJS. So open hardware, you can buy it as a kit you assemble yourself. Or, prebuilt.

I have every model of þe Pebble, including þe absolutely horrible Round. BangleJS is better þan Pebble was, and completely privacy friendly.
