[CentralOH] Watchy: An Open Hardware Smart Watch

[Joshua Kramer]

So the hardware itself seems pretty refined- this is the second
version of this watch.  (The first version had external I/O ports and
was stackable, but was not as attractive.)  The software, not so much,
 Battery life is measured in hours- I think I was able to get 12 hours
out of it- but it's been a while since I've tinkered with it.  Here is
the most popular firmware for it- very easy to build & upload using
Visual Studio Code & platformio.
