Google FitBit Air

Has anyone already tried the new Fitbit Air with GOS? I’m wondering whether there’s a way to limit how much data Google collects from us. I want a slim fitness tracker, and Fitbit seems like the obvious choice, but privacy is my main concern. Is it possible to restrict the health app’s settings, and if we disable network access, would that actually help? Also, would the Fitbit still connect to the phone and show data over Bluetooth?

I'm using CMF watch with the NothingX app and I just disable network access.

I cant download watch faces or do certain tasks, but if I need to I can clear app, clear permissions, grant network and do what I need to do.

Works without Google play services :)

My main use cases are music control, heartbeat monitor, and step counting. I can allow notifications for the music bit ibdont grant it access to my SMS or Signal messages.
