I’ve been using the PineTime with the InfiniTime firmware and GadgetBridge for quite a while now. I’ve had some battery issues with my first one so now I’ve ordered a bunch. The upside with that is that the kids now get a cool smartwatch each when going to school – and I didn’t have to take out a mortgage to afford it :-)

Time for PineTime
I just recieved my PineTime and set it up with GadgetBridge on my Android device. So far it has been a pleasant experience.
The unboxing experience was good. Inside a very anonymous brown cardboard box was a white box with the device.
The device itself was nicely presented. Under the clock is a tiny users manual and a charging dock.
My device was shipped with version 1.2 of the InfiniTime firmware, so I’m one release behind. I ordered the sealed device (because the price is amazing), but I already am itching to get coding.
Some highlights:
- Just works!
- Snappy UX
- Some cute phone apps included
Left to do:
- Get the heart rate sensor reading over to GadgetBridge
- Is there a way to clear the notifications on the clock?
- More watch faces and apps!
All in all, this was more then I expected and I’m really looking forward to playing with it (and hopefully not brick it…)
