If you like open source projects, have a look at the banglejs. It can do most of what other smart watches do, but privacy friendly, and with a runtime of about a week per charge. However, it is less flashy/shiny and a bit more experimental than the Apple watch and the like.
I use the Suunto Race S, really good watch especially for running, cycling and in the gym. Its more a sportwatch with a few handy features but not a real smartwatch. The sleeping and HR are pretty good for me.

Nothing (UK), Withings (French) and Polar (Finnish) are some great brands to check out

I have a Withings Watch for some years now. I think it is french. It is a Good Watch with smart functions and a classic look .

In other context people told, that Suuonto was sold to a Chinese company in 2022. I just found the matching source.
And no... their webpage didnt' include that info direclty, but I assume that part of the operations still takes place in Finnland.

Not a watch, but still shout out to Oura Ring from Finland.

I feel like at most you can get a sportswatch but not truly a smartwatch with apps etc.
