240x240 is ~56.25 kB at 8 bpp. the screen is RGB 65K colors, that is, 16 bpp; so the framebuffer size should be twice larger. I assume that the display controller has its own memory. True, you would need another 112,5 kB for double-buffering, but maybe you can do without it.
- deadw3ight 6y agoColor displays are great, but they should have had an option for a (color or black and white) e-paper display. More efficient for these purposes imo.
- lambda_obrien 6y agoI would pay so much for a hackable watch like this with a 3 or 4 color epaper display, I'd almost pay as much as an apple watch if it was high quality hardware and had a great open API and toolchain.

- lambda_obrien 6y agoThanks!
