You seem to have some very peculiar definition of "work". To display time, maybe? I don't think I need to buy a $800 fitness watch for that. And you cannot export any data without "connecting". Hell, you cannot really do that after connecting too, except to download each gpx track manually via very unfriely interface, or, if you happen to be European, find a very well hidden GDPR-compliance form on a separate site to request export of your data, which you'll receive (in up to 3 days, they warn you) on your email in very user-unfriendly format, without any docs or APIs on how to process it. And you need to be their business-partner (like Strava, I suppose) to actually get access to any APIs.
- m463 2y agoPossibly peculiar for you. If you don't find value in maintaining your privacy, there's no reason to put others down that try. In any case garmin watches are not all $800. In comparison, most other devices require activation to work. Have you tried to use an apple watch or a fitbit? I have a garmin watch, have never used bluetooth, wifi, garmin connect, etc. It keeps track of my health and activities, motivates and makes recommendations. It's really useful to track sleep and fitness level. The only local thing it does not do is EKG, they lock that until you go online and give your location as in the US.
