The DPI may be high, yes, but the number of actual pixels is still quite low. Looking it up, I see that the smaller watch has a 272x340 display and the larger has a 312x390. That's either 92k or 122k pixels to work with -- about 1/3 VGA -- over the entire display. At those scales, hinting is absolutely relevant unless perhaps you're only displaying a few relatively large words.
