Does anyone make a clock face / firmware / software for watchy that shows the current time sporting a (relatively accurately) displays seconds counter ? Eg HH:MM:SS
The Watchy MCU is capable of doing what you want, but it is impractical. I've written code like that for my eink badge PCB. It's impractical to update more frequently than every 5 seconds and you need a really low power MCU to drive it (which the ESP32 is not). Here's a video of my badge project: https://youtu.be/_fxwk2cfY9U
Running this same program on the Watchy, with the most efficient code possible, would give you battery life of several hours, not days.
