Any recommendations for a privacy friendly smart watch? (feddit.nl)

I currently take my phone with me while running, but it's very annoying to take imo.

Like the title says, is there a privacy friendly smart watch that could track my sport activities?

Bonus if it can also sync the data to my private server / NAS :D

The PineTime has a great feature set, but the build quality is terrible. I guess it’s perfectly justified for the price, but I don’t know; I don’t feel good having to order a new PineTime every six months once the last one I bought dies.

I am planning to buy a Casio B5600. There is a FLOS companion app for it, and it has a G-Shock frame; that thing ought to endure a bit before giving up :P

What do you mean it has a terrible build quality? I have one and I think it is great. They advertise some water resistance but I have full on dunked it in buckets of water with no issues. I can’t comment on the longevity but it seems to be a pretty robust design.
