Hybrid watch for notifications (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’m moving from iPhone to a pixel/graphene. I currently have an Apple Watch and got into the habit of leaving my phone on my desk (WfH) and relying on the watch to let me know if I get a notification. I don’t really want/care about fitness tracking or even responding to messages and calls. Is there a watch/bracelet that will just alert me to a notification?

Update: just got my pinetime. Build quality seems decent, but im disappointed in the vibrate/notifications. It could be I haven't found a setting, but it gives a very light buzz for an extremely short amount of time for each notification. Basically, unless I'm focused on the watch, I'm not going to feel it.

Updated update: going from infinitime 1.0 to 1.14.1 makes a huge difference (who would have guessed). I'm much less disappointed now!
