I'm trying to move away from a fitbit, once in a while I forget to charge it and I have to install the app and fork over all of my data to fitbit to set the time.

Anyone have any recommendations, I need something with a decent heart monitor, that's really the only thing I care about.

Only one I recall (smartwatch open source)

Does this fit the bill for you?

I have one, great use for my notification. Works with gadgetbridge to update as well. I cant upload resource zip files however that say will have new watch styles that is included seperately. Id have to link it to my linux phone to do that. Overall though for the basics its great and the price is nice.

I've looked at some reviews and the heart monitor might not be too great which is disappointing

I don't have any other devices to compare it against for accuracy, but I've used the PineTime to track my heart rate on a couple of jogs and the numbers seem about right.
