The new tracker arrived today! It is a Nordic one and looks identical to the one @Gordon posted.
It's really weird: Seeing them together shows that they are extremely similar, yet different.
I posted some pictures showing the differences:

The Nordic chip variant feels to be higher quality - the band is softer and more flexible and the screen is much sharper and it updates much more quickly.
There are smaller differences - one has an oval shaped button, and the other a rectangular one. The battery clips are an almost identical design but yet made of a slightly different quality of plastic.
The Nordic based one advertises itself as "YDY_P102" to Bluetooth and the other one seems to have decided not to advertise any more....
What to do with it? I figure it would work strapped to a bicycle wheel as a cycle computer, or could make some kind of shoe-mounted device to communicate online by morse code - pub-quiz cheat-tastic!
