There are definitively problems with Bluetooth and WIFI with the Kingwear KW88 Pro. I asked Chandler Swift, developer of the instruction to install AsteroidOS on the Kingwear KW88 Pro: asked
Did Bluetooth and WIFI woirk on your Kingwear KW88 Prowith AsteroidOS?
Chandlers answer:
"Hi Peter,
I haven't had much luck with either Bluetooth or Wifi, but I haven't tried particularly hard to get them working. I think that LittleFox on the #asteroidos irc channel may know more than I do about getting wifi things working, but that may also be with another watch.
For wifi, the hardware all seems to work and is detected, but wpa_supplicant crashes when I try to connect. I'm guessing, then, that this is a software issue. If I get it figured out, I'll try to remember to let you know, but it's not too high on my priority list.
For Bluetooth, it worked fine with the original firmware, but after flashing AsteroidOS connections have been unstable, generally staying connected somewhere between a few seconds and a few minutes (occasionally hours) at a time. However, I flashed back to stock firmware and I'm still having the same issue, so perhaps something AsteroidOS does modifies some firmware to a corrupt state? I know the MAC address was updated, and may try setting that back -- not sure if that's the only issue though.
If you do have a KW88 Pro, I'd be curious if you can help me do some troubleshooting on the unmodified bluetooth stack, to try to figure out what is different between my broken state and factory, and why re-flashing the firmware doesn't fix it.
Thanks!
Chandler"

The Kingwear KW88 Pro is an affordable and powerful entry device for AsteroidOS. But it is a pity that there are problems with Bluetooth and WIFI.
There are reports that Wifi and Bluetooth are not working on ASUS ZenWatch 3 and Kingwear KW88 Pro running AsteroidOS:
