My #PineTime smart watch suddenly stopped working last year (not expensive, but not high quality either). Now I can't decide between buying

1️⃣ an open-source #BangleJS that has more features, supports apps and is easily programmable, but also costs much more and could turn out to be low-quality too,

2️⃣ a high-quality #AndroidWear watch that has all features imaginable but isn't supported by #MicroG. Flashing #AsteroidOS could break some functionality & the “ease-of-use”.

What should I buy?

Small correction due to the limited character count: The PineTime didn't break altogether, only the accelerometer stopped working, so that it doesn't count my steps anymore and the screen no longer automatically turns on when raising my wrist, downgrading the PineTime to a digital watch with a touch screen.

@pixelcode bangle JS Version 1 was a huge brick, personally I did not like wearing it. V2 is supposed to be much nicer and more comparable to the PineTime, but I have no first hand experience with it.
