That is a US based company, so with shipping and taxes I certainly would also reach the over 60€. Honestly I wasn't that happy with my Pinetime. I tought about buying it again (destroyed mine when I dropped it) because it is cheap (26€). But for 66€ I might just get a different watch, that works with gadgetbridge
So, I bought a Pinetime with tariffs applied to go with GrapheneOS. It came to me about $50 USD shipped. For that price, I would do it again if it broke.
My needs are very basic, I can control music, see notifications, and get my heart rate on a graph when I work out. I only switched to this from Sensor Watch, simply because of the heart rate sensor.
Speaking of, you would be surprised what you could make a Sensor Watch do for you with no connectivity to your phone. I had totp for work, chess, and sunset/sunrise times as well as a onboard temp sensor.
Suffice to say, I think nowadays Ill readily pay more for FOSS with less features than something else just on principle. So I wouldn't let what could be conceived as a "bad deal" stop you if your convictions are strong enough.
