Features: mainly time, accurate distance, pace, somewhat waterproof.

vo2, maps, etc would be nice but not necessary for me.

Look for a watch supported by gadgetbridge and then just don't connect the watch to the internet or use the official apps. Although Garmin at least allows you to prevent sending personal data so you can still get firmware updates, which is useful because much of the functionality is on the watch itself.

there are potentially many apps for it, but the question needs to be more specific.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
