i'm thinking of getting a smartwatch to possibly replace the need for a phone (if it fails i'll use it to go on runs instead of having a chunky phone with me), trying to google it i've mostly seen watchface piracy but nothing about apps

My Galaxy Watch 5, with LTE, seems to not heat and drain much on LTE only mode. However this is in a "Optimal Scenario".

This Optimal Scenario includes:

  • Living IN a CITY where there's reasonable LTE signal strength. (Always 2 or more out of 4)
  • Battery Saver is enabled. (Critical step! This reduces LTE traffic!)
  • AOD OFF! (Must Push HOME [Top] Physical Button to illuminate screen config)
  • Minimal apps pushing notifications
    (I recommend your critical top 10 phone apps);everything else should not be able to push them...configure this in watch app.
  • Avoid apps that poll or measure constantly!
    Check ALL app settings! Defend your Battery!Make sure that no app is measuring or polling constantly. Apps like Google Fit or Cardiogram do not need permission to measure heart rate constantly; Once every 5 or 10 minutes will do! Make sure your watch's built in apps aren't measuring constantly too!

How do you make sure it's not constantly polling? Do you have suggestions for good FOSS tracking apps for heart rate / steps / etc? For watch a couple days ago and I haven't had one since the og LG G Watch.
