> I dream of a world in which I could use open hardware and free software, but how would something like an Apple Watch ever be open hardware and software?

The PineTime is going to be released soon. Sure, it's nothing like an Apple or Android watch, but it's a significant start.

There's also the recently-released LilyGo TTGO T-Watch, which might not quite meet the most rigorous standards due to its ESP32 core but is designed from the get-go to be hackable. It doesn't seem like a stretch anymore to imagine a world of perfectly nice hardware that isn't locked down.
