What would be the best spyware free smart watch? (lemm.ee)

So I want te find the most feature rich smartwatch that doesn't send data to the manufacure. I have tried the Pinetime watch, but it died after 6 months.

Infinitytime (OS) was not realy that feature rish, so I want to secrufise an Open Source watch OS. But I still want to connect it with Open Source software, like gadged bridge.

What is my best option under €200? Maybe the Xioami Mi band 7 (€50) that is supported by gadgedbrigde?

I got two Xiaomi bands, I think it was band 4, but neither work after like two years

Also sleep tracking sucks with gadget bridge, it was better with notify, so at that point it's crap hardware with closed software

How does sleep tracking work with watches in general? Do you have to wear the watch as you sleep?

I've mad a MiBand 6 for a while now - seems solid and you could, in theory grab all the data from it and process it yourself (via the Notify app). I don't know exactly how bolted down it is privacy-wise though.
