I'm a privacy focused individual, I run GrapheneOS on my phone & self-host as much of my tech stacks to avoid sharing info with. I'm looking for recommendations of smartwatches that align with the ideals of this community. What watch do you use? What do you recommend?

I have an Amazfit GTR 2 which works well for me. The trick that I found is, you can actually use their official app to get the most features, and then just deny internet access, so that they cannot spy on you. Otherwise, it also works well with Gadgetbridge, which is a really nice app. In general I can advice to get one that works well with gadgetbridge!
