      I mean LOOK at everyone in this thread. “Muh TerribleCo SlaveBuilt 4 is only a week old and they’ve stopped pushing updates and the battery doesn’t last the whole day anymore I have to charge it at lunch.”

      “What’s it for?” “Text messages hit by brain 4 seconds faster.”

        Everyone? Well let me be a change then. I love my smart watch. It vibrating wakes me up easier than alarm. Step and sleep tracking is really useful to me. While a gimmick sure, I really enjoy being able to update and change my watch face on a whim. Even with always on display, constant heart rate tracking and step tracking, my watch easily lasts 48 hours and charges within an hour while I’m in the bathroom getting ready in the morning. I get it’s not for everyone but far cheaper than a Rolex and way more functionality.

          Which I imagine like everything else Pine64 does will remain permanently in a state of “industry seconds some dead pixels are to be expected this is for developers and enthusiasts only no returns or refunds.” I don’t think they have any plans to ever bring a consumer ready product to market.

            I have one. No dead pixels. It doesn’t necessarily do fancy things but that’s sort of why I got it. $30 and it tells the time, shows me notifications and lasts over a week before I have to charge it. Eeeeevery now and then I’ll use it to control media or play 2048. Hey it even counts my steps!
