1 points · Open discussionWow, this article doesn't do it justice.
Watchy is an open source hardware device that uses an e-ink display and has an ESP32 module builtin [0].
SQFMI, the creator of watchy, has a twitter account [1] which has some very nice screenshots [2] [3]. Even the CrowdSupply website has better pics of the device [4].
This is one of the few watches I've been sorely tempted to buy.
