Is it possible to buy the Watchy anywhere anymore? The officially linked site says stock of 0.

I got mine from pi hut.. https://thepihut.com/collections/sqfmi

Depends which country you're in I guess.. the resellers seem to get them more often

They don’t have any stock either. I wonder if it’s just not enough interest or too much.

How do you like yours? Wear it daily?

On and off.. it's more just a fun thing to program and make better.. the default software is pretty basic.. essentially it's an esp32 with an eink display bolted onto it.

It isn't remotely water resistant - a light rainshower would write it off.

I've got a pinetime coming as well which is much more something that could be used as a daily driver whilst still being hackable.

interesting on the pinetime. I'll have a look at that, thank you.
