    I wonder how hard it would be to open source something similar with something like an nrf52 or similar and a 3d printed enclosure I might have to look into this tbh

    SQFMI Watchy exists... And has a chinese supplier now which doesn't suck

    The community is also active, recently a few from ground up firmwares have appeared

    I was trying to find a link to a supplier, could you link?

    Edit: found that it's on mouser, but also discovered they're using USB-Micro still, so that's going to have to be a pass :(

    Man, I've been dying to get one ever since a friend told me about em.
    While I can get them via Aliexpress, they come with a very minimal case, with the sides exposed. I'm struggling to find anyone selling replacement cases and I don't have access to a 3d printer to make one myself unfortunately.
    I'll keep looking though.

    Not sure if they are still available, but after pebble shut down, I got this Chinese watch called amazfit bip. It has a color e-ink display and lasts roughly a week on a full charge.

    I was able to sync to my phone using FOSS called gadgetbridge so I didn't have to install sketchy Chinese software on my phone.
