Bangle.js - an Open Source Smartwatch
summary
An open-source smartwatch called Bangle.js runs JavaScript on ARM Cortex-M with under 8KB execution stack, ships with an always-on color screen and up to four-week battery life, and already hosts about 600 apps on GitHub. It streams sensor data over Web Bluetooth using UART.js and a browser-based uploader/web IDE, accepts JS snippets sent to execute on-device, pairs via QR to avoid scanning 500 devices, and includes TensorFlow Lite for microcontrollers (no on-watch computer vision).
