If I read it right, the answer to my question is "no".
Well I tried to answer in practical way to the question that was asked in very philosophical "Richard Stallman"'s way. Yes the bluetooth stack that is currently running in the watch is not open source. And so is not the hardware, both its design (PCB) and the chips used (and Pintetime is same in this). You can draw the line between open and closed anywhere. If you decided bluetooth stack is where it matters then so be it :-)

Thank you for the detailed explanation! Most of it is well above my pay grade. If I read it right, the answer to my question is "no".
I am not a developer and won't be flashing any other software. I will leave that for folks with different talents than I have. I will just be using the watch and the software others have the talent to program for the community.
When I said mentioned my purchase decision what attracts me to the project is it was advertised as "open source" in the 1st article I read, then I was told it isn't fully open source. I am trying to move as much of my electronic life to open source projects.
