Is there a workout tracking, watch form factor, device that does not require "cloud" in any way?

I want the convenience of a watch to track my workouts without a single thought that GOOG et al can collect. I want to download it to a local device and analyze it there.

And I don't care if GOOG is "99.999999999%" better at protecting my data. The point is I do not want them to have my data.

Garmin. And their products are better than Fitbit anyway.

You mean the company that bought Navionics, blatantly ignored lifetime licenses that had been granted, force pushed broken app versions, and staffed multiple people to police the app stores and try to spin mandatory internet access and ongoing subscriptions in lieu of the aforementioned lifetime licenses as being for the users' benefit?

Sounds like you have an ax to grind!

I've always really enjoyed Garmin and their products and their services.

I'm sure they're not perfect but they're an alternative to the Google all seeing eye of sauron.
