I want to build a linux(yes i want linux specifically or a deritive of it) smartwatch as a prototype that lasts ~24 hours. Ive been looking for chips that are small and power effient enough but most of them cant run linux. If i have a 400mah battery that gives me a power budget of about 60mw… I know its possibly because there are wearos(basically android) watches that last 3-4 days. I dont know what kind of sorcery that is but that means it consumes about 15mw??? I really do feel like im miscalculating something but i checked multiple times. Do they hibernate linux/android and run it off of another chip. I also dont know how to excecute that properly and its kind of off topic of my question. So point is linux on a ~60mw budget in s smartwatch. I want to use a mip display as i really like the look and it uses little power but if ever want a heart rate sensor in it thats even more power consumpotion. Thanks in advance i guess if a saint answers this shitstorm of a question.

    Yeah its a good starting point but it doesnt quite run linux. If i ever manage to get the linux part working i can just copy the rest from pinetime.

      He didn’t say use the smartwatch itself. He said look at the specs for what hardware you can use for your own smartwatch

      • PLATFORM:
        • SoC: NORDIC Semiconductor nRF52832
        • CPU: 64MHz ARM Cortex-M4F
