I'm working on a visual watchface builder for Garmin smartwatches currently. Think like Canva but for a watchface. It's not released yet, but coming along well. I'd like to support other brands too, like Pebble.
Pebble are releasing a new slew of products and their arguments with rebble aside, are seemingly doing a good job so far prepping SDKs and more to easily write software for the new watches. Including leveraging the banglejs engine mentioned earlier in this thread to enable folks to write apps / watchfaces in javascript! See: https://developer.repebble.com/docs/
Not sure if this counts, but someone I know made a javascript interpreter that runs on ESP32, ported it to a smartwatch and wrote a whole open source operating system. He put it on Kickstarter and reached the goal. He now sells the result, and a second one for a different smartwatch: https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js2 There's an app store here: https://banglejs.com/apps/ , but all apps are free and open source in a…

Open Wearables is a self-hosted platform that unifies wearable health data through a single API. Our roadmap also includes some AI-powered features (https://docs.openwearables.io/roadmap)
We're solving a problem we often encounter when building solutions for clients. So we're targeting developers and builders, and therefore ourselves! :) The tricky part: we're trying to build the platform so that it's also useful for individuals who simply want to analyze their data (or the data of their clients, in the case of personal trainers).
Currently supporting Garmin, Polar, Suunto, and Oura Ring (with more data types being added). Next big thing will be releasing Apple Health SDK for Flutter (probably next week).
The project has early contributors and growing Discord community. I'll invite everyone to be a contributor, leave a star or just test the solution! :)
Also it was interesting programming journey to use their Monkey C programming language.
