I have a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, which I had before I got sick with COVID-19. However, it is spendy (expensive).

I did a search and Body Battery is available on cheaper models like the Garmin Vivosmart 4 ($129 USD). I put into DuckDuckGo and verified:

"Garmin" AND "vivosmart" AND "body battery"

Thanks for your searching, much appreciated :).

I won't get a non-replaceable band one though, I have a tendency to sweat them to death :/.

Here's a list of supported watches:

By coincidence I was looking to buy a Garmin smart watch!

The Garmin instinct have that function and works great. There are way cheaper options like the Fitbit charge, it also has a body-battery and is very accurate.

BTW I never had covid but if my body battery gets below 20, I also feel like shit. That´s the point I guess.

Thank you for the recommendation, which is thoughtful. One thing that you may want to keep in mind: Garmin has to follow GDPR, while FitBit (Google) does not.

You may not want Google (e.g. YouTube) serving you ads when it knows you are in a very low body battery state, for example.

Why doesn't Google have to follow GDPR in this case ?

Sorry for the confusion: For Americans Google does not have to follow GDPR. Garmin has to follow GDPR worldwide as it is incorporated in Switzerland.
