I’m currently also at that point, trying to decide what to buy.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a smart watch with good compatibility with gadgetbridge? I’m not sure where to look (gadgetbridges list is long).
Something with a color display, maybe a week of battery life, being able to show my notifications and configuration without needing the manufacturers app
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.
All the things I actually use work. My only peeve is that you can’t silence /stop phone alarms from the watch, but I believe this is a general android thing…

Thanks for mentioning Gadgetbridge. I finally checked it out. It is surprising that it supports other devices besides smartwatches.
I’m currently using the Nothing CMF Pro 2.
