I use samsung smart watch and I am kind of dependent on it to track my sleep and workouts. I have blocked internet access to galaxy wearable and samsung health apps using firewall. I just wanted to know if there any more precautions to take to reduce or stop the data collected from watch.
Also are there any open source altrernatives to use with samsung smart watch so that I can do away with samsung apps.
Thanks in advance.

Turn off cloud sync in Samsung health, then your data will stay on your phone.
There is no usable alternatives which work galaxy watches.
Not sure what you can do with galaxy wearable.... You can turn off features which require server side involvement like find my device, weather for current locations etc.
Ps: I do not know technical details, but I assume that some wearos integration works directly on android level
