The PineTime is great.

Posted on 2021-12-26

I got a PineTime for Christmas, and it is great.

The PineTime

The good things

Cheap, very cheap (~$27).

InfiniTime (the firmware/OS) seems very responsive (compared to the PinePhone).

Many features I will likely almost never use.

The display is better than expected.

The companion "app" itd is awesome (as far as I have tried yet, others are not so great, see below)

itd

The bad things

I will try to make this section as short as possible, as these are only minor things.

InfiniTime needs some minor improvements:

Boot off the watch or turn off Bluetooth

Better notifications (e.g. deleting a notification)

The companion apps often have a hard time to:

Connect (GadgetBridge)

Keep connection (GadgetBridge, Amazfish)
