There are devices that are supported by Gadgetbridge, which need no account and just sync via Bluetooth to the open source Gadgetbridge app on the phone. I have no idea how they compare on features - that likely depends on what you want it for (notifications v fitness v health v communications). > When someone says "Fitbit", I think of the device on my wrist, not of > the app on a phone.

It depends on the device, some have no display or a very basic display, and some features are only available in the app (eg tracking trends). > What are those extra "Fitbit services" that I never needed nor wanted? > When I did have the app, I never had to activate the device.
