On the iPhone I get redirected to the Apple Store page for the Apple Watch. Nice...

I got a tiny bit offended by the assumption that I'd rather have an Apple Watch.

I'd think the ideal for me would instead be something in-between a Pebble and a Sensor Watch. Something hackable with more battery life, that is a watch first (and a smartphone notification screen never). I wonder how far I could go towards that goal with the upcoming Pebble hardware and rewriting the OS kernel to sleep more.

I interpreted it as an intentional insult :)

I think it's just a static redirect, it sent me to the Apple Watch page in Firefox on Linux. But I also wondered if it would shuffle between a few different brands or something (I guess not).

Looks it tries to identify Apple devices and goes to Pixel for everything else.

            const platform = navigator.platform || '';
            const userAgent = navigator.userAgent || '';
            const isAppleDevice = /iPhone|iPad|MacIntel/.test(platform) || 
                                /iPhone|iPad|Mac OS/.test(userAgent);
            
            // Set redirect URL and message based on device
            const redirectUrl = isAppleDevice 
                ? 'https://www.apple.com/watch'
                : 'https://store.google.com/product/pixel_watch_3?hl=en-US';

Edit: per erohead, that change was made after your comment.

It looks like:

- Chromium browsers (tested in Edge, Chrome, Brave) go to Pixel Watch,

- Android devices go to Pixel Watch,

- Apple devices go to Apple Watch,

- Firefox brings you to Apple Watch.

It might also be randomized, but that's what my tests got me, and only the Firefox one doesn't make humorous sense.

I had read your post correctly. I just provided more information for a cases that matched two of your conditions
