Timex makes a $120 GPS Ironman R300. It's apparently a Huami/Amazfit backend.

I've been very pleased with it. Great battery life, even with GPS while running. I found it comparable to Garmins in that respect.

The chunky looks could turn people off, but I prefer ugly retro-looking stuff :)

Edit: here is DC rainmaker's review https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/06/timex-r300-gps-smartwatc...

I'm pretty sure they do; even established stores have started carrying them around here. Check out the website as well; there's a bunch of variations of that watch now.

I have the original Bip and am very satisfied with the hardware (lasts forever, looks pretty good) and somewhat satisfied with the software (good selection of watch faces, it's gadgetbridge compatible, but activity mode is a tad bit too easy to enter and too hard to exit)

Checked the US store. There's none available. None available in Amazon Germany either.

I have the Bip S, and was trying to get that for a friend, but as I mentioned... I cannot find them in stock anywhere.

you can modify the behavior of the crown button to disable this, if i recall correctly. i think i just deactivated it - after one too many accidental presses.

You can definitely find it on the usual China gadgets marketplaces: aliexpress, banggood, gearbest, ...

You can still get them (in the UK at least) although stock seems low, you can also get the amazfit U. although it's a bit more expensive.

The Bip S is the perfect device for me. This is specifically what I was trying to find.

I bought mine on AliExpress a couple of months ago.

Yes. I found mine in August. Try to get them now.

Took me 2 minutes https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001190040175.html

You cna get them easily with Aliexpress still.

Ebay has tons. They run $25 to $40.
