PineTime smartwatch - a Linux Phone companion

I really would urge you to choose the 1MB flash/256K RAM option though. 512K/64K is a bit limiting. Having 256K of RAM makes it basically the same as the original Pebble watch. One interesting thing to do might be to actually port the Pebble userspace to a new watch.

Is there going to be any external flash for program storage or just the on chip flash?

I concur with your comments. The additional space would be useful, and external SPI flash would be useful for storing additional code and assests, and would also allow easier porting of CircuitPython for quick and dirty development (although what impact CircuitPython would have on battery life would need to be determined).
