What are the actual privacy implications of using a fitness tracker with mostly pseudonymous information? - eviltoast

For example, let’s say I want to use a Fitbit. I download the app, enter my real height and weight, but I give a masked email, fake name, fake birthday, etc. I always use the app with a VPN.

When doing an outdoor activity, I would allow my precise location on a run.

Is there really much of a privacy risk if they don’t know who I am?

Please don’t just suggest Gadgetbridge or a similar alternative.

    When I asked about smart watches on reddit back in the day Garmin was recommended a lot, so they seem to be really solid.
