Is the magnetometer in the bangle V2 really unknown?

Its labeled as UNKNOWN_0C. Any reason why?

Yes, it is!

Bangle.js 2 is actually reverse engineered hardware (because for the amount we ship we couldn't afford to design all our own), so we figured out basically everything you see on https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2+Technical by examining the PCB and disassembling the supplied firmware.

Usually you can work out from the chip markings or the I2C address/commands used for the chip but we haven't been able to do that in this case!

So if you do manage to figure it out I'd be really interested :)

Ooo, that make more sense. I thought you designed this. I'm more impressed that it works so well.
