Normally one would think Raspberry Pi being a single board computer or SBC for short would not make a good dev platform. This may be because traditionally dev platform requires lot of libraries and hardware resources that a SBC like Pi may not suited for. However for a small hardware development like smartwatch Raspberry Pi 3+ and above is not only suitable but ideal as you can do both hardware and software development.
1) First you you need to choose smartwatch dev kit I choose PineTime smartwatch by Pine64
2) Next you need to install the Dev tools you need for development as you see in the image above
3) Next you need to choose an Operating system or firmware for your smartwatch I choose Wasp-os https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os and it has all the libraries and documentation right on github it also has good documentation Right here https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#install-prerequisites
4)Rest all depends on what you trying to build with the smartwatch the possibilities are endless
