I've got one of those. Hated the in-box case though so printed one of these: https://github.com/sqfmi/watchy-cases/tree/main/Flipped%20Ch...
Also didn't like the watch face so made my own from the default one, changed layout and font and stuff.
Oh and replaced the strap with a velcro strap.

I received mine on Saturday and reached out to Sqfmi about the case status. They said that they are working on several cases and that they will be put on the github repo. They gave me the address below. It has one case to 3d print. I hope to print one out today. https://github.com/sqfmi/watchy-cases

Admittedly somewhat abandonware due to difficulties in antenna design... A year ago, I enthusiastically jumped on the project and I've got a half dozen ESP32-pico-D4 and Quectel L96 GPS modules on my desk, a breakout board for one GPS module that only works with a powered antenna that's twice the size of my Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, and a half-finished Kicad project to turn it into a watch, a very dusty RF design textbook that I've not read since 2011, and not enough time or energy to see it through.
