Another enthusiastic Bangle.js user here: I had the original and used it, programmed it until the strap (integrated into the body) broke.

Apparently you can actually connect it to phone notifications using gadgetbridge[0] but I didn't have much success when I tried it. The BLE was a little flaky at the best of times (pairing to a PC for programming failed more often than I'd like).

Banglejs2 user here, Gadgetbridge works perfectly fine for my basic usage.

idk if Bangle1 strap is different but (don't remember exact measurement) you can put any standard watch strap with a normal strap pin on it. I replaced the broken stock strap with a nylon one off the net and it's great.
