I wish there was some other software I could use on my PC to test the connection to the watch -just to determine whether the problem is with the Bluetooth on my laptop or with Chrome on my laptop.
Maybe you can give this a try: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Tools/nRF-Connect-for-desktop
Its the desktop version of the Android app. If that can list the services of the Bangle using your laptop than the laptop BT seems to be fine I guess.

Thanks for the good laugh X-D

Yep. Tried that, got to the ' Connected' and nothing else.
If I go to chrome://bluetooth-internals, go to 'Devices' and click 'Start Scan' it finds 'Bangle.js 03ed'. Then if I click 'Inspect' it shows stuff, and then sits with a loading spinner in the 'Services' section. So, something does seem to be wrong with it scanning for services.

Hmm - if I go to chrome://bluetooth-internals and "inspect" my Fitbit Charge, then Chrome lists some Services to me (I don't know what they mean, but at least it's doing it). So Chrome seems to be working in general with Web Bluetooth
If I go to chrome://bluetooth-internals on my phone, and inspect the Bangle, then that lists services.
It doesn't look as if it's the Bangle, because my phone seems to work OK with it, but it doesn't seem to be my laptop/Chrome either, because that works with other things. So, I'm baffled.
I'm going to see if I can pinch a child's laptop and try from that...
