If you were to buy an open source smart watch today to pair to a GrapheneOS smart phone which would you choose?

I'm currently using the Nothing CMF Pro 2.

You configure it with the proprietary app to get the initial paring key, then you can switch to Gadgetbridge and disable or even remove the Nothing app.

The Good: cheap device cost, nice UI elements, machined aluminum bezel looks premium. Push notifications and most features work.

The Bad: semi-annoying workaround to get it set up initially, not all features work, not using the proprietary app disables using the Nothing watch face library so you're stuck choosing from the 5 or 6 default designs that come with the watch.
