That watch's promo pictures make it suspiciously look like the COLMI
you can buy for ~$30 on Aliexpress.  I haven't been inclined to try
it, but apparently you can reflash it with Pinetime and basically make
it an open-source watch.  However, Pinetime is missing a lot of the
functionality of the stock firmware and the only real benefit is the
ability to write your own apps.

Yours has a different button on the side, but maybe made by the same
manufacturer in China.  Maybe it'd pair with the Colmi app?  (some
searches imply it may not be worth bothering:
