I can't settle on a new smartwatch, so I'm asking for recommendations. I don't want to pay more than 50 euros for it, but I just want it to tell the time and steps accurately without connecting to an app, and a long battery life. Everything else is extra, but nice to have.

PineTime is probably the best choice privacy wise. It hits all your requirements but it is definitely not fancy. Pretty much everything will require an app, but the GadgetBridge app is FOSS with no trackers or uploading your data.
