As for the Watchy, I wanted an e-ink watch to develop with. But I eschew the big compile, push full firmware approach for just tweaking watch faces, so I'm a huge fan of Espruino everywhere. Fortunately, it's an ESP32 so I just pushed a existing build to it and it ran OOB. It also ran out of battery in 30 minutes... as ESP32s need a lot of power management to last on a battery. I hope to tweak the firmware to do what the Watchy code does: shutdown completely and wake on RTC or button press. Some day...

Thats my thought as well. I have a watchy watch and a pine time watch. Both have a OS that is compiled with all the apps. So it a pain to work with. Espruino seems like the best thing for this.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
