Looks like those generic rings are supported by gadgetbridge[1] so barely any hacking needed for 100% on device processing and storage.
I have a miband I use with gadgetbridge. I'm reasonably happy with the app, and it has visibly improved over the last year (it also wins by default being opensource + the only option for keeping data private) but the watch is a bit bulky when sleeping or typing so I stopped wearing it.
I can't imagine $10 hardware will be particularly accurate, but cheap price + data control is enough to give me an excuse to play with one.
