Then this one is for you. The software is fully open source.
There are also regulatory reasons for closed firmware, since in some countries you are not allowed to change the way the radio system works since it may cause interference with other wireless products and they will loose their general operating license.

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.
