Simple as that. I had one but it stopped working and I never got a new one. I want to start tracking things better while I am trying to get back into shape and want to be able to match the data up with how I feel, what I ate, drank, etc.. to better understand how things impact me directly.

Anyone here have a watch and use it for stuff like that? Also, I don't have any interest in Apple since I don't own any apple products. I know some people that love their apple watch but I just don't see a reason to get one when I don't have anything else apple.

I'm suprised there isn't a self-hosted solution for this yet. Maybe there is... I've never looked into it.

I have looked around a little but the DIY community around those devices is not nearly as mature as one would hope. It is slowly getting there but it will probably be 5-10 years until there is something that can do everything a "commercial" product can do today unless someone gets really pissed off and decides its their life goal to make something like that.

I am pissed off enough but I don't have the needed background in the medical/hardware field and even if I spend the time to learn and build it there are projects out there that are already better than anything I would probably make (maybe?). I don't know. Life is just too damn busy for me at the moment to try to work on something like this.

You might look into Oura Ring 4. I don't have one, but it's a lot smaller than a watch. Supposedly you don't have to take it off in the shower.

I've looked into Oura but I really don't like rings. Its a personal preference. I would rather have a watch than a ring.
