Hi other privacy people :)

I am currently looking for a fitness tracker that at least doesn’t need a proprietary app to get the data out of it. Haven’t really found any recent articles that look into that aspect of fitness trackers, any advice?

I know about the bangle.js but wanted to know if there is more. Also, if you have this device and use it to track your running, I would be happy to read your review!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Solution for me was to adjust the settings of opentracks. Before it recorded only every 10 metres. Additionally I ordered a chest strap for my heart rate. Brand is Polar, they seem to be good about not needing their own app to get your data.

    Yeah I’ve got this with a GTS2, you have to activate the watch with the official app and extract the key from either the app or the website. Fitness tracking is actually pretty solid with the GTS2, but I’m probably going to roll with the bangle.js next.
