Are there any fitness tracking devices that aren't totally spooky?

These guys were the OG heart rate monitor. Used to just be a watch and a chest band. No apps no cell phone. Was actually pre-smartphone when they started.
Their "Loop" product looks pretty minimalist and not obnoxious.
Looks good at a glance. You know much about their current privacy policy?
Unfortunately no, we used to have to wear them during our fitness classes in High school (early 2000's). Back then it was just a chest strap and a watch; no data being recorded on any computer. The heart rate and time above target heart rate was just tracked on the watch.
Your post just reminded me of them. Certainly *seems* less spooky then everything else out there now.
At the very least less addictive (no screen), so that's a huge plus. Will look into them more. Thanks for the info!
The bangle devices are open source devices worth considering.
Nice. And a good price too! Will look into them more.
We used to call it pen and paper back in my day
And when exactly was your day, squire?
Just a basic black strap. Simple. Maybe different colour if spooky would imply on a colour. 🖖
I meant spooky, as in, reporting back your every step and bowel movement to the mothership.
Hahaha... yeah... I was just reading comments and realised. I wasnt familiar with the term in that direction. I dont think I cared ever much to even check. That is why it didnt come to my mind 🤦♀️😄 sorry

Ah, nice. Yeah, that name rings a bell actually. I think they might do a phone too.
