I really need to dive into researching privacy respecting trackers. I require one for heart rate and sleep monitoring (due to a couple of medications I take- adult ADHD and medication management is quite a battleground for things like normal heart rate and normal sleep).

I'll admit I like that my current, privacy-destroying, hateful watch can track my exercise, but it's seriously not at all important to me (I have to actively monitor my heart rate during exercise to make sure I don't push myself too hard as it is).
