The $27 PineTime smartwatch runs open-source software and now it's ready for non-developers
This is the smartwatch I own. True netrunners know that the tech we wear on (or under) our skin is a prime entry vector for ever hungry megacorps to bleed the pulsing data from our digital veins, so having a wearable I have full control over is of paramount importance. I can flash it with new firmware whenever I want, the multiple open source options available are all an open book to any hacker worth their cyberlinguistic salt, and I can know for a fact that it won't phone home with my location or other data to any corporation behind the scenes. If we are all going to be cyborgs integrating technology onto and eventually into our bodies, better to control that tech ourselves!

Cheapest I found was 65 euros 'with free shipping'. I regret going for a Chinese band instead for the same total cost due to the 'overpaying' fallacy.
I just ordered it from the US site, for 26 usd with 11 usd shipping fee. Whether it will slip trough customs due to the low price or not,it will be still cheaper than 65 eur.
