"With a 520 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage, the Apple Watch packs a lot of computing horsepower into a very small package. On paper, its processor alone is about twenty-five times faster than the average 386, and 512 MB was the size of a hard drive in the mid nineties, not memory. As a result, I was feeling confident that the Apple Watch had the ability to run one of the most revered desktop operating systems Redmond has ever produced."​

The watch is much more powerful than the first PC I had. It ran Win 98.

So cool, definitely the manufacturer did not provide lockdown to avoid replacing the firmware OS hence anything is possible.
