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.

My phone has CalyxOS so I don't need to

You don't need to what?

I can search for Bluetooth devices without location services

That sounds like a bug.

Software can theoretically recover location by searching.

Like my TV hasn't moved in the last 3 years, if any app searching for Bluetooth sees it they can know where I am.

I'm not complaining

I'm on CalyxOS and I have to enable location services to search for my Xiaomi Smart Band 7 through Gadgetbridge.

That's weird I haven't had to do that before, maybe it's just a smart watch thing
