I couldn't find any when I looked around a couple of years ago. Anything these days? And if none are floating on the market, are there any decent wrist watches that respect your privacy and don't send all the dam data home?

Garmin sends all your health data to the cloud and the app won't work without an Internet connection.

However, unless something has changed with newer models, you do not need to use the application or connect to Garmin's servers to use the watch.

    however if you want to change goals (eg steps per day) you have to use the app

    I consider that quite a minor feature as a Forerunner owner who bought mine specifcally for running and other activity tracking, but Garmin does have a wide range of models so I'm sure there are people who would require the app for other things like you say.
