I was thinking of getting something I wear 24/7 for monitoring my heart rate etc. and since I have a samsung phone the default choice was a samsung smartwatch. The other alternatives I found recommended were American (garmin, fitbit, apple...) but are there any European alternatives? I kinda expected europe to lead with this kind of health related things tbo.

That used to be a warning. Now that I've seen how incredibly based they are it's an endearement.
(I still think you should just start saying huitante and nonante)

Withings looks insane, and it has good reviews, at least the ones that I saw.
But I feel like something like that will look out of place on me, for my style, but that is a me issue.
I think I might get one later after I get a but more fit 😅

Although its origin is from the US, you might be interested in the PineTime by Pine64. They build all kind of FOSS-centric hardware devices and personally I really like that approach. But compared to all the other brands it has probably less features and isn't as fancy.
