Nice to haves:

  • Phone
  • GPS
  • Possibility for FOSS tracking fx using something like PhoneTrack and Nextcloud

Would be really interested to hear any real life reviews from users of the Bangle.js 2. It looks great given its features and price point but would be interested to know if there is a catch somewhere.

Now I'm curious, too! I sold my expensive Fitbit smartwatch and have stopped using my WearOS smartwatch because of privacy concerns.

Instead, I'm wearing a Pebble smartwatch and use Gadgetbridge for notifications.

Looks like Bangle.js 2 also works with gadgetbridge, but I'd like to hear more about the GPS functionality and how that works with other open source apps to maybe log GPX/KML files.
