    You should take a look at Bangle https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps, it does pretty much this, it's running a js engine on the MCU and you can download apps and run them just like you describe.

    But I am still wondering where this code in my screenshot comes from. I suppose it is telling the calling env how to clean up after it. But I couldnt find anything about that on the git repo. It is there tho when loaded through the app loader. https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/tree/master/apps/lcars

    AGPS data just enables the Watch to get a position in a few seconds. It can get the information (almanac) from the satellites but this takes several minutes of constant direct view to clear sky. Which of the agps apps did you try? https://banglejs.com/apps/?q=agps

    So far I only have used the Browser based "Assisted GPS Updater (AGPS)" one and so far have no issues.

    Depending on your messagegui App, in the default Message UI one just touch the icon on the left of the title bar and then choose Mark all as read, more details here. However, I can recommend the newer Message List App which has a much nicer interface, in my opinion, and provides a dedicated button for dismissing all messages.

    BangleJS should fit your requirements pretty well. It's a Chinese made smartwatch sold with a custom open and hackable rom. It pairs to android via Gabdgetbridge which is FOSS too
