Apple Watch alternative

[nrvna76]

Ive asked a similar question in the past but didn't find a suitable pair with Apple Watch or a replacement.

Long story short I've had Apple Watch since launch and love it for music, fitness tracking, weather, alerts, silent alarm, news, calorie tracker.. but I cannot wear it to work due to the microphone.

So I may have to move to a different Watch. Can anybody recommend a replacement without a mic or something I can wear during the day with Apple Watch after work? There are so many now it's tough to research capabilities.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

Finding a smart watch without a microphone these days is going to be difficult. The integration of assistants has driven adoption of microphones in those devices.

Probably true. Fitbit seems to be the only option but they are not very appealing to me and don't play well with Apple health. If I wore just a fitness tracker during the day and Apple Watch at night would health be able to tally both at the end of the day?

I think Garmin has several smartwatches without a mic.

Usually, if work does not allow microphone, it does not allow wireless, Bluetooth and wifi also.

Take a a look at Chronos, you add this to a generic round watch. I've been considering this for some time since I'm a watch collector and haven't work a mechanical watch for sometime.

Bluetooth is allowed. Wifi capability is limited, I think 10mw but I'm not sure. Most fitness trackers (I.e. Fitbit) are allowed. I just didn't know if there's some that play better with Apple health. I'd like to be able to tally the day at the end.
