Got PineTime pre-tariffs (even though it took a while to ship to US)
Pretty neat piece of hardware, has everything that I want (notifications, time, weather, timer), InfiniTime OS is open source and was easy to read, build and flash (had to do so to add missing Cyrillic letters and a shortcut)
As long as your expectations are that of a microcontroller-powered device and not a supercomputer-on-your-wrist, it’s fantastic.
That is a US based company, so with shipping and taxes I certainly would also reach the over 60€. Honestly I wasn’t that happy with my Pinetime. I tought about buying it again (destroyed mine when I dropped it) because it is cheap (26€). But for 66€ I might just get a different watch, that works with gadgetbridge
So, I bought a Pinetime with tariffs applied to go with GrapheneOS. It came to me about $50 USD shipped. For that price, I would do it again if it broke.
My needs are very basic, I can control music, see notifications, and get my heart rate on a graph when I work out. I only switched to this from Sensor Watch, simply because of the heart rate sensor.
Speaking of, you would be surprised what you could make a Sensor Watch do for you with no connectivity to your phone. I had totp for work, chess, and sunset/sunrise times as well as a onboard temp sensor.
Suffice to say, I think nowadays Ill readily pay more for FOSS with less features than something else just on principle. So I wouldn’t let what could be conceived as a “bad deal” stop you if your convictions are strong enough.
pinetime is a neat affordable project to check out… but i think they’re sold out atm. i saw someone say that in the last week in the chatroom

Pine was my first stop but when I went to purchase I got a 404/so I assumed it was not available which is why I’m here
I just put one in my cart and made it all the way to payment option… maybe try again?
It works on my computer and not on my phone…Thanks

In the EU store it is currently out of stock and also priced at 66€. Can it be, that this is a victim of the US-EU trade war, that Trump started?
