It would be easier to just buy a small LCD screen for a few bucks. The watch LCD is most probably pretty hard to program anything for, because it's hard to find information about it. But you could always try googling it, maybe someone did the work for you already.

try typing lcd 16x2. It should get you a few results...or for LCDs which can handle more charaters, type lcd and then the amount of characters it can handle. ;)
