I'd like to pre-program the wristband to wake me up in case my phone (my main alarm clock) turns off for some reason.
On a related note, is there a wristband with a vibrating alarm clock that can set multiple alarm times and doesn't need a phone to trigger it? I'd like to pre-program the wristband to wake me up in case my phone (my main alarm clock) turns off for some reason.

Hope that helps!
If you have an iPhone, an Apple Watch meets your description perfectly. It has GPS, heart monitor, and pedometer data, and stores it in your local HealthKit database, which you can easily read and write with your own Swift code running on an iPhone. You can also write apps for the watch directly, and there is a non-LTE model.
... after easily paying your Apple Developer Subscription, that is.
Amazfit Pace [1] I just bought one for ~£80 from Gearbest and you can pull the GPX routes from it, and also add routes. You can access all of the files, by plugging a USB lead into the charging dock. It then appears as a USB drive that you can copy files to and from. I've designed my own watch face, as it's just XML and image files and taken GPX data. I'm not sure how or if you can get the heartrate or pedometer data…
No. I bought it when Pebble went down. That thing was buggy forever after, half Chinese most of the time, only allowed sync to a random online service (strava?) and was just.. broken. The worst purchase ever. The display sucks outside. The software is weird (swipe in random directions to find what you want), the companion app miserable. Whatever you buy, this shouldn't be it. A better Pebble would be appreciated ofc.…

Strava is hardly "random", it's very popular in UK with cyclists and runners.
Pretty much any Garmin device does exactly what you're looking for. All of the activity data on my fēnix 5 / VA HR is visible when I plug in via USB. The data is encoded in the FIT file format, which has a public SDK [1] (you do need to accept a license agreement to view it, though, if that matters). There are wrappers for most languages and if you want to just translate the data to CSV, there are pre-made tools to d…
So, a couple years ago, I wrote a bash-wrapper [1] to Suto's perl FIT-parsing library [2]. With a quick search, I see that others may have extended Suto's work [3].
I'm pro-Garmin but can't understand hiding a measurement instrument's output format behind a closed-door license.
