I'm not sure about all Garmin watches, but most of them don't have wifi. So in those cases their only way of getting data to Garmin servers is via syncing with the app.
That's a good point I hadn't considered! The biggest take away from this thread is I need to explore GadgetBridge
Garmin Vivoactive 6 works extremely well with Gadgetbridge. Looks like it would check each of your requirements.
