I found these really cool sharp memory displays and instantly fell in love. And the best part it has a built in backlight. The high contrast ratio and fast refresh yet being low power got me hooked. I immediately knew I wanted to build a watch out of it. But this time I wanted to focus more on the software and architecture of an actual smart watch.

I grabbed a NRF52, a NOR flash, added a few buttons and started prototyping.
