I’m looking for a watch that is able to do basic “smart” things like show notifications and ping my phone if I misplace it. A timer/stopwatch would also be good, and a long lasting battery.
I have no interest in an Apple watch or Galaxy watch, so I’m looking for something comparatively cheap.
Fully recommend the bangle.js
Super simple, hackable smartwatch. Perfectly compatible with gadgetbridge etc.
Had no issues whatsoever since I bought it a year or so ago
That one looks cool! GPS receiver makes it interesting compared to the pine time.

I would suggest to look at the models supported by Gadgetbridge and pick one from there. I know I can trust Gadgetbridge not to leak my data since it doesn’t ask for network permission.

I used it for several years, through multiple gadgets (in chronological order)
- Pebble
- Pebble Steel
- Pebble Time Steel
- Mi Band 4
- Amazfit Bip
- Bangle JS2
- Casio GBD-200
I’d second the recommendation for Gadgetbridge and would add most of the Amazfit watches to the list. I have the Amazfit GTS 4 and it has run flawlessly with Gadgetbridge.
I thought about using Amazfit products but all the new ones require Huami/Xiaomi server pairing. How was that process?
I miss the pebble and fsck Fitbit for killing it.
