I've been looking for a decent watch of my own, albeit it much cheaper.

My requirements are simple: eink/epaper display, a splash of color (red would be fine), circular display, light/visible at night, programmable watch face.

Closest thing I've seen is watchy, wearPico, bangle.js, but they all seem slightly wrong somehow.

Look at Garmin MIP (memory in pixel) watches?

You can make your own watch face in a half of weekend, which will include, as a bonus, learning their own dialect of C :)

Can't guarantee for the splash of color but I've had my eye on Fossil Hybrid smartwatch gen 6 for everything else you mentioned. It's maybe worth a look?
