Hi folks, I‘m currently using the pinetime which a friend has given to me for testing.

So far I‘m very happy. Of course, the typical foss situation applies where you have to accept that freedom comes with responsibility. In this case it is early stage functionality in some cases like the heart rate monitor which is kinda spotty.

Cool features imo:

  • different watch faces
  • lights up when you raise your arm
  • hrm works mostly
  • 2048 game is fun
  • step counter seems accurate to me

But I already made a list of things I could possibly add to the firmware if I decide to buy one - likely the dev edition.

All in all, I‘m very impressed of the capabilities of a small company and its open source product.
