I believe you can achieve something similar with cheap tracker from xiaomi (like mi band) connected via "Notify and Fitness for Mi Band" (I use paid PRO version) or Gadgetbridge [0] (I didn't use it). Gadgetbridge looks better in terms of privacy, but for some reason I'd chosen Notify and Fitness for my mi band 4 and some xiaomi body scales. Probably because it had more features than gadgetbridge.

What features are you missing in Gadgetbridge? The upcoming release brings another round of goodies: events forwarding ( act on detected sleep, wake up...) and sports activities ( swimming, yoga ;), but also running, walking, biking...), including computer statistics for these. That besides many other small and large under the hood improvements...

  Unfortunately, I do not remember. I've bought my miband and set everything up last fall. I will definitely try Gadgedbrige again when there are less active covid cases in my city so I can continue working out outside. My main sport activites are free weight lifting and longboarding (long distance, 10+ km, no trick like on skateboard). In my current app I really like trend charts, especially weight trend (and recommendations on how to lose more weight based on my activity). Do not remember if they were present in Gadgetbridge when I last checked. But I don't like that the app I use now is slow on my old android (looks like unoptimized react native app).

    We do not track weight (at this point), but do have charts (not trend charts) but these are all good ideas, i will mark them. Still, give Gadgetbridge a shot, you might like it. Check out our wiki, many things of the MiBand are similar with the Bip: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Amazfit-Bip https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Amazfi... , which i think has most comprehensive article from the whole Huami (MiBand/Amazfit) family.
