Also, you can still use your watch and upload to Garmin Connect Web using a Windows or Mac computer with a USB cable and Garmin Express.

As for a different brand of watch. I'm no expert in other brands. I would think that something like a Wear OS watch might work, but even it is not supported on go edition - https://wearos.google.com/wearcheck/. I'll keep looking as time allows.

I checked with fitbit. Their support site and specs are very vague with no reference to android go edition, that I could find. I opened a case with fitbit support over a chat session. Their level 1 support had no answer and stated they will email me later after raising with a "higher team."

Did you try a service like APKMirror, as mentioned in the link above? Downloading the Garmin connect app???

Can't see on there where you can download APK mirror? Also, do you know if there is a list on here of phones that aren't compatible to download the Garmin app?

Put APKMirror in your address bar. Should be the first page that shows up.

Basically any phone that doesn't support Google Play Store or any phone running Android (Go Edition).
