Yes, but you might have missed the letter.  The chip inside the
SmartWatch is labelled DS1216 in all versions.  The exact type of
SmartWatch is indicated by a letter on the small circuit board, to the
right of the chip, as part of the track layer (i.e. dark green).

If you do have a DS1216, it is the type which can be used with a 2Kx8
or 8Kx8 static RAM, not an EPROM.
