If I'd want a watch that can track metrics like heart and blood, and especially also sleep, has a battery life in the 1-week range (rather than 1-day range), does not require a phone (especially not for setup, but ok if it optionally can use one as additional UI or for local file transfer), and allows getting daily/hourly/... data of the metrics it tracks as a CSV or similar file onto my desktop computer in some way, what are some good suggestions here?



Did you already check Garmin watches? They have great battery life and allow local data access via their FIT SDK [1].

Polar have a desktop app and I didn't need to set up my Polar V watch via a phone (although I do use the phone app). No idea about the hourly data. The battery lasts 4-5 days.
