As a banglejs 2 wearer as well: I think it's the closest competitor by a very large margin, but I would absolutely not call it a polished experience. I've had intermittent (and persistent) connection failures (definitely improving over time), heartrate is all over the place and is almost totally unreliable (some weeks my resting heartrate is apparently >200bps, and some I never break 100), the gadgetbridge app has loads of minor wtfs, touches are not well aligned if you have a status bar visible, the UI is kinda laggy, it's not waterproof, and I can probably write up another couple dozen more OTOH if I try for a few minutes. I consider myself a happy customer, and will definitely recommend it with caveats, there's a lot to like about the banglejs 2. But it's targeting a FAR more hacker-oriented crowd than Pebbles did - I would absolutely not suggest one to people who are not willing to debug their watch. It's quite simple to do so (really, I like it!), but it's not something I can recommend to the normies in my life.
