    This is my review of Pine64's PineTime smartwatch. This watch doesn't run Linux, but it does run FreeRTOS.

    Gotta admit I love it, I did have a band fall apart, although I've had multiple fitbit bands break in the same way so it's not a big deal, especially for $25, 100% daily drivable, 100% great

    I wish i bought a PineTime instead of my Samsung watch, because this watch is a hell of a lot cheaper, and it has about the same functionality, at least what i use my watch for, checking the time and switching tracks on my music.
    I still very much like my samsung galaxy watch because of it's multi-day battery life, up to over a month if you're willing to only use it as a watch and nothing more
    a pinephone along with a pinetime would be a fairly great combo, since you can have a great watch and a great phone that runs FOSS and respects your privacy

    I wish they had added a SPO2 sensor and maybe GPS too, would've been more expensive but worth it

    Joke for the intro? You're about 50 years late for this quote, but there was a series of commercials in the 70s starring a slightly inebriated Orson Wells that famously declared “We will sell no wine before its time.” Simply swap "pine" for wine with a fake beard and wine glass, then you have your intro.

    I am glad you covered the band and was pleased to hear that good news about it being standard sized. I wish you'd covered the notifications more in depth. Another guy covered it a tiny bit, but not enough.

    Thank you for the review. I'm curious how does PintTime install apps? Do I upload source code via bluetooth? Is there an app store for PineTime where I can check available apps? Thank you.

    • @PizzaLovingNerd
      @PizzaLovingNerd  3 года назад +4

      Right now all the apps are part of the OS and can not be installed dynamically. This means there is no app store.

    Im currently on InfiniTime 1.3.0 "Purple Fig"; I am wondering if when the watch is on and fully charged (during the day) can I go to turn it off at night while I sleep, or does it stay on (on sleep mode when not in use of course) all the time until the battery runs out?

    • @PizzaLovingNerd
      @PizzaLovingNerd  2 года назад +1

      You can use sleep mode or turn it off.

    • @eganzale
      @eganzale 2 года назад +1

      @@PizzaLovingNerd I know there is a sleep mode but I don't think there is a shutdown function (the entire battery has to drain out). I want to completely shut it down at night. Do you have to hold down the side button for a certain amount of seconds or is there a function built into 1.3.0 firmware UI I can use etc?

    Why in gods name does it not have a recovery option so sealed watches aren't a constant brick risk?
    Oh wait it's F/OSS of course the developers don't actually give a shit about average users

      I actually was interested until you told me about the brick risk, thank you for dissuading me from this piece of crap.

    • @PizzaLovingNerd
      @PizzaLovingNerd  3 года назад +11

      The bootloader has a recovery mode that has saved me several times, but not operating systems on it use the same bootloader, and so if there is mess up while overwriting the bootloader, than the watch will brick itself. However if you are going to stay with InfiniTime and not change the bootloader, the risk of a brick is very slim.
