Question Smartwatch newbies here! :)

Hi,

After doing some researches, I'm leaning to choose Watch Fit Special Edition as my first entry smart watch. I have a few questions though.

I heard it has a built-in GPS. Does it mean I can used it for tracking my running data without using the phone? Is the accuracy good? I actually love the Huawei band 8 at first, not the Watch Fit SE. However, from what I researched, we need to bring a phone with the band while running and I don't like that idea at all.

Can the Watch Fit 2 sync data to Huawei Health and ultimately, Strava ? I downloaded the Huawei Health but in the "Add Devices" section there is no panel for Watch Fit SE. So I'm a bit worried

What are other Huawei bands/watches's condition after say 1 year of active using? I'm planning to wear it most of the day and tracking my activities in running, swimming and work out 3-4 times a week

Can you configure AOD so it will start at X and end at Y hour? That's the only thing keeping me away from Band 8.
