In theory, yes. It may be a bit more difficult than other P64 products as you can't just "pop the SD card out" from a IP67 sealed watch. To physically get access inside the watch, you'll have to break the seal and damage the casing.

There are plans for how to implement an OTA (over the air -- wireless -- upgrade) mechanism, but nothing confirmed yet.
