I fully expect this to be an “I don’t think there’s any good replacement” scenario, but I’d love to hear some options. I also know that this isn’t a good time to really make expensive purchases, and I don’t plan to make the purchase, but I’d like to hear people’s thoughts and bits of knowledge on smartwatches, or fitness-tracking watches / wearables.

So what’s your non-US, non-CN (yeah I have more than just a non-US constraint) option? Anything good out there?

I know there might be a revive of the Pebble but it’s not great for fitness tracking, and there’s no plan to go in that direction for now. And it might still be a US product.

    I can’t say I’ve found much about Polar’s status as a company, but there seems to be a few Reddit posts talking about some kind of financial woe at the company. Hadn’t seen info about its ownership tho, or if there’s been changes.

    And yeah, someone else mentioned Suunto, and I did find out that it’s now Chinese-owned, by what seems to be originally a XiaoMi subsidiary.
