Bangle.js 2 does have a GPS but is a no-go for music listening because it only has an 8MB flash memory. The ecosystem is also much much much less polished than an Android watch. However Bangle is very hackable and easy to write apps for, you can literally do it in one minute using the Web IDE: https://www.espruino.com/ide/

Just don't expect the ecosystem to be very polished.

But I'm intrigued to think that with 8mb I could transcode my podcasts to a very low bitrate. I'm assuming given what you are saying that there isn't an audio player for BangleJS because of the flash memory limitation, however.

Yup. There's also no Bluetooth audio stack right now, so even if you could put your music on it you wouldn't be able to connect your headphones. :-(
