Thanks to those who recommended Gadgetbridge to me! After some research, I got an Amazfit Active on a great deal. Set up with its app, it showed ridiculously low battery consumption, but the phone, on the other hand, started being drained by the app's consumption. I installed Gadgetbridge - night and day. Now the phone's battery consumption is ridiculous, and it seems to work even better. And it outperforms my previous Galaxy Watch in many of the activities I need. For example, if I sleep, it doesn’t vibrate – unlike the Galaxy, which, even on Samsung devices, needed to be manually set to Do Not Disturb.
I'm on my second amazfit bip (45 day battery life!), and since I found it gadgetbridge has always been the app I use.
Besides working at least as good as the apps that come with the watch, being FOSS I don't need to worry about what information it's sending to a shenzen server farm.
