alt Hacker NewsI considered an Oura but went with an Apple watch instead. I turned on Advanced Data Protection on the paired iPhone for peace of mind. No other large data providers really provide anything equivalent to ADP’s E2EE protection with zero access encryption, especially in the consumer space for activity trackers.

Garmin can be used completely offline?
AFAIK, they even have some watches with no radio hardware so that they can be used in sensible environments.

I was stuck between the two, Oura won for its better sleep tracking and battery life.
I suppose one option would be to enable data syncing to Apple Health, and periodically delete/create new Oura accounts to purge historical health data. Not a great workflow, but would let you benefit from E2EE with Apple Health while using Oura (assuming Oura’s “delete account and all data” does what it claims)
