I want to use this watch to interact with my rasberry pi from the web or in some other way. Is this possible? Or can anyone give me any ideas?

I can't recall if a Rpi has web Bluetooth.
You might need a ble dongle and the right drivers installing.

You can do it a bunch of ways - since it's Bluetooth LE you can use pretty much any of the ways that you'd connect to a normal Bluetooth LE Espruino device.

There's some code for connecting directly here: https://www.espruino.com/Interfacing#bluetooth-le

You can use Advertising (which is maybe easier for IOS stuff):

or there are loads of tutorials at http://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2#tutorials

There's also a post on the forum where I showed how to use bthome with Home Assistant on a pi

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and it works well with Bangle.js 2 and Bangle.js 1 via bluetooth

Yes, the Rpi has built-in bluetooth and everything works out of the box (after installing Raspberry Pi OS)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
