Pinetime can't hold a candle to the bangle.js: https://banglejs.com/

The bangle.js: - ships significantly faster - has an always-on display with similar 4 week maximum battery life - can be updated without flashing - has a thriving app ecosystem

I have a bangle.js. It's... alright. Does the job. Feels cheap. OS is nightmarishly slow. Only one physical button, so annoying and fiddly to set with a touchscreen (interacts badly with the slow OS). Has GPS, but doesn't really work. Has heart monitor, but doesn't really work. Not terribly stable.

My Pebble Time Steel was vastly superior.

I wonder: could one possibly run a custom ROM like bangleJS on a Garmin?
