what i would like is a fitness/health-tracking wearable that does not have a screen. i want a faceless waves hands bracelet something on my wrist that will track all of my health & bio stats and sends it to/syncs it with my phone.

Ehh the F91W is not very accurate at all as the article claims. It's not temperature compensated. If you leave it lying on a desk at room temperature yes. Wear it outside in all weather it'll be pretty inaccurate. I prefer the F-105W myself. It's basically the same watch but with a great blue EL backlight.
W-800H is my daily-wear cheap watch here I had a Pebble and then an Apple Watch. I came to the conclusion I prefer my watches to be tools and not devices. Watches that are tools are cool. Aviation watches, dive watches, etc etc. So much cooler than a smartwatch.
I love my W-800H though. Still has a 10 year battery, nearly as compact size, and similar aesthetics.
I’ve gone through a couple over the years (the biggest flaw is the band), but my current one is incredibly accurate. Using a high speed camera, I measured 1.43 seconds loss over 6 months. Pretty sure I won the Quartz lottery since that’s much more accurate than spec, but either way I’m happy.

This is what I’m looking for, but I also need the device to only store the collected metrics on my phone, and not send it to some company’s servers. So far I think it’s just the Apple watches that meet that criteria.

Perhaps a way to DIY this? I wonder how to get motors that small…

I went from f91w to the illuminator and it’s much nicer for the backlight

I found more and more that the features I use on a watch (current time, 3 min timer for tea, 25 min pomodoro timer, wake up alarm) are basically universally covered by every digital watch ever manufactured, and are normally MUCH easier to access on those watches than an Apple Watch, and I assume most smart watches.
The health tracking is the only compelling feature I make use of on an Apple Watch IMO, otherwise it annoyingly fiddly to the point where I just use my phone.
Importantly, F91W can run FOSS software with a custom board [1], which also makes it easily programmable in C with no "app store" shit. I have two boards sitting next to me and two Casio watches waiting for a transplant. [1] https://www.sensorwatch.net/
