As long as the wearable contains open source software and preferably open source hardware, then sure, I'd be willing to do so. Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.
It being open source doesn't mean you can mosify and run your own software on it and still have the agency accept you are compliant.
I said nothing about the agency whatsoever. I don't give a shit what they see as compliant or not. If it's not open source, I won't fucking use it.
Pine64's Pinetime is pretty close. I use one. I like it.
