Furtunately (at least for the users), gadgetbridge exists.

As far as I know, gadgetbridge does not support tizenOS smartwatches

Well, then all the users are fucked.

Aren't smart watches almost universally bricked by default unless you undergo an online activation, sharing all kinds of personal information?

I'm stuck on miband 3, since it's the last model sold unlocked.

Well, or mi unlock, where you need to share your e-mail and phone number. You can't do anything about it anymore.

Huawei watches support gadgetbridge and don't have vendor pair.
