What Hacker News says

The pinetime can basically do anything you want it to, as long as you're willing to make it so. I'm wearing it on my wrist right now, but I have an iPhone and the support for it is not great. In terms of build quality, it's quite good, and the battery lasts for about a week. It's slimmer than an apple watch, which is a major plus for me. But if you have an iphone, step tracking and limited music control is all you'll get in terms of accessory use. You can always contribute, however, and there is a very active community working on the firmware in the github repo (https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime). The thing that the PineTime does really well, however, is beat the price tag of basically every other smartwatch out there ($30). I'm not sure how chip-shortage prices might be affecting this though...
In Oxide on My Wrist: Hubris on PineTime was the best worst idea
