Is there any European alternative to smartwatches like Apple Watch or Garmins?
Nothing (UK), Withings (French) and Polar (Finnish) are some great brands to check out
Suunto is a Finnish brand. I don’t know much about them, but I’d explore them once my Garmin reaches the end of its lifecycle.Edit: Suunto was sold to a Chinese company, read the reply to this comment.
In other context people told, that Suuonto was sold to a Chinese company in 2022. I just found the matching source.
And no… their webpage didnt’ include that info direclty, but I assume that part of the operations still takes place in Finnland.
If you like open source projects, have a look at the banglejs. It can do most of what other smart watches do, but privacy friendly, and with a runtime of about a week per charge. However, it is less flashy/shiny and a bit more experimental than the Apple watch and the like.
