Not hybrid watches but Garmin watches have a passive LCD screen that is readable under reflected light and the app is excellent, albeit proprietary.
I have a Fossil hybrid and Garmin Instinct and wear the instinct most of the time. I find the Fossil app too basic and it drains battery. I have heard about an open source app that can sync to them however.
Yes, there are a few ways to do it. You need to have logged into the Fossil app with an email/password, it didn’t seem to work with “login with Google.”
I used a python script that I ran on my computer that got the private key from the Fossil servers.

I recently switched to using GadgetBridge with my Fossil Hybrid. It was a little annoying to set up, but it works.
That’s the one, thanks! I better get to it before Fossil pulls the app. You need to extract a private key from the paired app correct?

NOTE: You need to add the private key before pairing with GadgetBridge, if you add it after then it won’t work.
