My fitbit with a heart-rate sensor died, so I bought a Spade and Co "Health Smartwatch 2", which was absolutely beautiful, just what I wanted... and didn't work.
That watch's promo pictures make it suspiciously look like the COLMI you can buy for ~$30 on Aliexpress. I haven't been inclined to try it, but apparently you can reflash it with Pinetime and basically make it an open-source watch. However, Pinetime is missing a lot of the functionality of the stock firmware and the only real benefit is the ability to write your own apps. Yours has a different button on the side, but maybe made by the same manufacturer in China. Maybe it'd pair with the Colmi app? (some searches imply it may not be worth bothering: https://www.reddit.com/r/smartwatch/comments/q37ic6/did_you_fall_for_the_spa... )
