I've always wanted a watch whose face colors can be changed to fit my outfit. It seems this is doable albeit at the cost of battery but I havent seen any software that allows it

This is totally doable! The Always on Display screen can have colors and those do not impact the battery life much. Nothing hinders you to show a full color as AoD. There are some watches however that only support 4 colors in AoD mode. Namely the ASUS ones. If you are serious about developing such a watchface, come to our matrix chat for more tips where to start.

Wow, this looks pretty cool! It seems you have quite a few features going... The main reason I haven't gotten a smartwatch yet is because of privacy concerns. But now seems like a good time to experiment with one of the watches you support. I also still dream of one day daily driving a Linux smartphone, but that feels a bit more unrealistic to me, as I have more expectations from a phone, like being able to use bank…

BangleJS has an embedded JS interpreter and runs just fine for days without a battery recharge.
