Looking for a European smartwatch for health monitoring - what are your thoughts?

Hi everyone! Iโ€™m on the hunt for a smartwatch thatโ€™s great for monitoring health - things like blood pressure, stress levels, sleep quality, and physical activity. However, Iโ€™d prefer to avoid products from overseas and focus on something available in the European market. There are plenty of smartwatches, rings, and fitness bands out there, but Iโ€™m not sure which ones are actually worth considering.

In addition to Polar and Suunto, Finland also hasย ลŒura on the ring side. I tested their V1 long ago, and was impressed. The ring form seemed to allow for better measurement of heart rate to the point of reliably using HRV for "readiness" predictions, and temperature to the point of possibly being applicable for basal temperature for ovulation detection, something I doubt any watch could do as accurately simply because of form factor. Then again, I haven't tracked progress lately.

If you are more concerned about your money and data staying in the EU than the brand, I'd also suggest a used device supported by Gadgetbridge; I used to have good luck with used Mi Bands (newer models may not work, or at least need installing the default app and digging up a code).
