Yeah, honestly, I'd like a smartwatch type monitor without any smart features; just something that sits on my wrist and displays my heart rate so I can watch it myself. I've looked a bit, but such a thing hasn't been easy to find.

Fitbit Sense 2 is pretty dumb for a smart watch, but Polar H10 should be more accurate.

The polar verity sense is what you're looking for. It connects to your phone via ble so it doesn't need a display. It's not as popular as a chest strap.

The Polar Pacer or Pracer Pro's only smart features are for exercises/etc. and I don't really use them, so it's really what you describe.
