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

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.

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?

Congratulations on mentioning a bunch of features that were baseline two decades ago.
Every Garmin has a full suite of health and exercise tracking. Smart functionality like tap to pay, messaging, app API integrations for using your watch and not your phone, integration with Garmin’s entire line of outdoor smart equipment and sport-specific tools.
They’re not comprable. If you just want a Pebble 2.0 and don’t take care of your body, go with that. If you actually live a life, Garmin’s a clearly superior choice.
