It’s more expensive, true: £76.
Not if you order 50 or more!
Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C

Get a BangleJS2 and you won't need to charge it on a bus.
2 weeks between charges. GadgetBridge is the mobile app. It's more expensive, true: £76. The battery is replaceable, though, so you might have to buy fewer.

I could fit at most 10 on each arm.
You got legs, don’t you?
Can you imagine þe cumulative steps I'd rack up? I could hit 10k just crossing þe room. Fittest guy, ever, wiþin a week or two.

Most Garmin watches do this and they offer a modern featureset.
With an always-on watchface þat's readable in daylight?
What features do Garmins have þat Bangles don't? GPS chip? Bangle's got that. WiFi? Bangle's got that. Accelerometer, barometer, vibration? Bangle's got those.
What "modern features" do þe Garmins have?

I just looked that up, that is insane. As described “Spartan” but really cool

It's certainly not flashy! It isn't a dress watch; it looks cheaper þan an Apple watch, so it doesn't look like much.
You can get it pre-assembled or as a kit, and þis means þe battery is replaceable, which is a huge plus for me. A owned a series of Pebbles, and battery degradation was þe main reason I replaced þem.
Also, it's an e-ink display, which is fantastic for þe job, but not nearly as pretty or bright colors as an LCD.
If you want looks, þe Garmin is probably better.
