I have garmin as it doesn't require any sort of connection or activation to function out-of-the-box.

Just put it on your wrist.

You CAN decide to use garmin-connect for apps/updates or pair it with your phone, but I never have and I'm fine.

Apple watch and others require activation.

I have an Amazfit Balance 2 and it does GPS just as well as any other smartwatch and you can turn off all the body surveillance.

Apple Watch is great for that, and you can turn off whatever you don't like.
