Color displays are great, but they should have had an option for a (color or black and white) e-paper display. More efficient for these purposes imo.

I would pay so much for a hackable watch like this with a 3 or 4 color epaper display, I'd almost pay as much as an apple watch if it was high quality hardware and had a great open API and toolchain.
Go on ebay and purchase a Pebble Time. Color epaper display, fully hackable even after being discontinued thanks to the dev community who continues to update it with "Rebble" the open source version of the OS it ran on.
ePaper is just their name for a transflexive LCD display. It's not eInk type technology
Thanks!
I'd pay more than for mass produced consumer gear, from any manufacturer.
