    Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive smart watch that can be used with GadgetBridge? I don’t need many features besides push notifications, maybe an alarm etc.

      PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it’s an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well on my skin, but it works for some people.

      I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.

      I use an Amazfit GTR 2e, and it works almost perfectly with gadgetbridge. The only difficulty I have is i’m unable to manually update A-GPS data, so getting a GPS lock can take a while. But I don’t use it a lot, and honestly, the Fitbit Versa I came from wasn’t all that much better.

        “Only” 13 days of battery plus no eink display. It might be good but it’s still no pebble. This is more akin to an amazfit bip or any of those existing cheap smart watches
