I’m moving from iPhone to a pixel/graphene. I currently have an Apple Watch and got into the habit of leaving my phone on my desk (WfH) and relying on the watch to let me know if I get a notification. I don’t really want/care about fitness tracking or even responding to messages and calls. Is there a watch/bracelet that will just alert me to a notification?

Maybe something like PineTime?

It's likely a very different experience than an apple watch, as in, much more basic in functionality. It's also like $30.

I came across bangle.js 2 when searching for PineTime info. Same idea, but more expensive (~twice the price for me in Canada), a little better hardware, and supposedly a larger developer/userbase.

I don't know too much about it; curious if folks here have opinions.

I found this too. Seems pretty good. I may have to give it a try if the pinetime doesn’t work out
