If you want truly standalone + WiFi + custom code, check SQFMI Watchy (ESP32). You can flash your own firmware, call HTTPS endpoints, parse JSON, and render custom UI without a phone in the loop.
Main tradeoff: it’s very DIY (power management, UX polish, tooling). If you want less DIY, Wear OS gives a better SDK, but the platform lock-in is much stronger.
Is this question in any way related to television?
I just had to solve this problem recently. I've settled on Google Pixel Watch 4. There are some rabbit holes to go down though before it works reliably.
I have one of the TTGO T-watches: https://www.tinytronics.nl/en/development-boards/microcontro...
For me it is mainly a decoration of my drawer, but maybe comes close to what you are looking for. :)
