Nope. LTE-capable watches will replace cell phones. Phones are the thing of the past, I don't think it's worth the time anymore.
Of things relevant, watches is the present and AR is the future. Both are a challenge from FLOSS point of view: watches and AR involve very latest hardware/tech which is very proprietary AND those devices are not very interesting from the "general-purpose computer" point of view. They have very narrow purpose/function, and they become obsolete very quickly (due to newer tech being objectively better and better). Very useful devices in everyday life, but not interesting to play with.
Unlike a laptop, or a desktop or a breadboard/rpi, which are general-purpose devices and are actually interesting to play with and learn from.
Would I like a truly open/libre Linux on my, say Apple Watch or Apple Glasses? Sure, but realistically it ain't gonna happen within the tiny time span of high-tech relevance. And it'd be a travesty if bright minds would spend their valuable time on that hopeless endeavor. There are so many more interesting and more valuable things to do: improve man pages, or cure cancer...
