I was wondering if I should get one, so that I have something that I can tinker around with, without breaking my daily driver bangle.js... but if this is a dead end
Your choice really, it depends on what you want to do with it, it is not a Bangle.js watch that can run bangle apps out of box, it is cheap nrf52840 Espruino device with battery and touchscreen that can run your custom code. All the hardware (except maybe HR sensor) works and is usable. If you want to tinker then go ahead - it seems to work for cat litter boxes https://forum.espruino.com/conversations/392685/?offset=25#17537542
EDIT: and if it was not clear it can be also used as a watch either with custom code or it can run some subset of banglejs apps but you need to maintain them yourself (including matching bangle.js runtime)

hahaha :)
The magic3 with your display driver is super for under 15 euros.
I placed a 10pins plug where the charging pins were, so I got Vin, V batt, gnd, i2c bus and 5 pins available, very handy device. I even got the side button working fine after mounting it to place :)
in case anyone is interested, this how to works fine for hacking it, mostly for part 2, the web ide part, it is easier from the loader I think.

Hey @fanoush, do you have any plans to still work on the kospet magic 3? I was wondering if I should get one, so that I have something that I can tinker around with, without breaking my daily driver bangle.js... but if this is a dead end, I'd rather wait for another opportunity to get some cheap toys to play with
