Off-topic, but: do you need some Garmin account to use these functionalities? I am looking into such a watch, but would not like to be dependent on some online service/account to use it.
The big tl;dr is that a lot of stuff will work, but a lot of things relying on historical data will not work (resting heart rate, weekly step count, sleep, etc).
But, the app/account is unobtrusive to the point that you could name yourself Mickey Mouse on creation, just to get a user ID for the watch to point to, and set permissions on the app on some schedule just to have the watch sync that data.
No sort of verification/authentication of identity at account creation and the app/services are free (I'm sure, given this day and age, there's premium/subscription stuff but like I said it's unobtrusive and I've never once been nagged to upgrade my account)
