Hi wanted to ask if there are any Bangle sellers in India
I also wanted to know if there are any alternative hardware for around 30 dollars.
I know good Python and a little JS, and am really interested in this watch.
Does this watch have a wifi chip?
(PiHut sells for around a 100 pounds with shipping)

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't know of any Indian distributors - our main ones are listed on https://www.espruino.com/Order

Bangle.js doesn't have WiFi, no. For that you may be better looking at an Android watch.

If you want a hackable watch for 30 dollars you can look at the PineTime. There is a Python interpreter for it (https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os) and also a version of Espruino. However I don't believe it'll be as easy to get started with - to a certain extent with Bangle.js you're paying for the vast amount of effort it takes to make things 'just work' as much as is possible

Thanks for replying, to what extent do you think one can make an original Pebble classic with Rebble similar to a hackable watch. Obviously it has far specs but do you think one can get some creative solutions into it too?

I'm not sure I really understand the question? You're asking if the Pebble can be hackable? You can definitely write your own apps for it.

Yeah I am aware rebble has great dev support but I wanted to know how limited the range of potential apps can be given the Original Pebbles hardware in comparison to modern day projects such as pine and bangle. I hear the software constraints due to this are quite big. Additionally is Pine too hard for someone without much low-level/microcontroller knowledge?
