True. There is an app called 'GadgetBridge' [available on F Droid] that aims to replace propreitary connections with a FOSS variant so that watch related data remains just on phone and only used for phone-wair sync purposes. Too bad only some devices are supported. I don't think any of Samsung's Galaxy series [Wear OS] is supported as of now.

I have a amazfit that was given to me as a present, and it works great with gadgetbridge.

I always thought those things were unnecessary and gimmicky, but I have to admit that it greatly motivated me to start working out. Especially the ability to calculate your Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) score.

Also sleep monitoring helps me, by keeping me cautious about my sleep pattern, and hours of sleep.

Like any kind of habit journaling and monitoring, success depends on will power and determination, but it does provide a motivation.
