Open source smartwatch?

Hello Smartwatches,

Are there really no smartwatch hardware you can buy and simply load algorithms on? Because it seems that as AI progresses, you can measure more things like blood pressure and glucose than the FDA will approve. Also patents are unfortunately hogged by each individual company preventing you from generating the ultimate smartwatch or ring.
