 Thought the same way myself, did a little research. None are perfect, but Garmin seems to be slightly more respectful.

 probably due to a company culture born before ubiquitous internet connectivity

 Yeah, apparently the watch only connects to Garmin when you do updates etc, otherwise it just doing its job. I like the non-google operating system too.

 yeah, i probably don't really have much use for it at this stage, i've got this milestone in my mind when i can do a particular hill climb on my bike that will be a big achievement... i already have managed that i can go for almost 2x further at a go before i need to catch my breath 

but good to know that if i decide i want to track my cardio performance with gps info and such there is options that don't snitch on you the whole time

 Yeah, I base my performance on faster times, more weight etc.
My wife bought me a fitbit, pre google, but it still sucked.
