I am very happy with my Skagen Jorn gen 6 hybrid. Hybrid means both e-ink screen and physical watch hands. It has a few health sensors, can display notifications, track workouts, send commands to Alexa if you want that, and much more. It's simply an awesome smartwatch in a classic inconspicuous design, and it has a hopping 5 weeks battery life, and it's supported by Gadgetbridge. Nothing can beat it in my opinion.
I've had a Garmin vivofit 3 unsmart watch since 2017. I've replaced the band and battery a few times but it's been a pretty good tracker. the watch battery has been a great feature as I don't have to charge it, just replace it once a year or so.
I use Suunto 9 Baro.
Really wish there was an Android watch that was as reliable and responsive as Apple Watches

none of them, i’d rather not have any extra data on me out there that’s digitally storing it anywhere, even locally.
i keep my odometer and a pulse monitor with me, but they’re both local dumb.

Currently wearing a mechanical watch. No data collection, no batteries, and it has radioactive tubes that glow for decades so I can see what time it is at night with zero effort.
If I wanna track fitness I'll open vim and record it there.
None. I'm one of these oldtimers who has that backward opinion that a thing has to do one thing, but that very good, so I wear a brick of steel that's actually ticking away that I have to check once a month, if it's on time. Plus every 4 years it's gotta have an oiling. On the other side: no batteries to charge. And my fitness tracker is my fat belly ;) kinda fit, kinda fat.
