I'd recommend checking out Gadgetbridge. It is an open source app, with no network permission requirements, that replaces the OEM app for a large number of watches. I'm running an Amazfit GTS 4 with it and it has been almost flawless.

Tried it, doesn't work with these smartwatches, they are shipped with proprietary OS and proprietary OEM apps, the Face-watches are also proprietary formats.
