-* PineTime Product Information
-** Overview
-The [[https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/][PineTime]] is an open-source
-smartwatch, created by [[https://www.pine64.org][PINE64]]. Originally
-announced in September 2019, this ARM-based watch is a fantastic option
-for users who want the benefits of a modern smartwatch with the backing
-of open-source components and software.
-
-** Product Specifications
-I won't dive into too many details that you can find on
-[[https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/][the product page]], but I wanted to
-point out the prices for each watch and the primary functions:
-
-1. Price:
-
-   - $26.99 (Sealed)
-   - $24.99 (Dev Kit)
-   - $51.98 (One Sealed + One Dev Kit)
-
-2. Primary Functionality:
-
-   - Clock (+ Smartphone Sync)
-   - Pedometer
-   - Heart Rate Monitor
-   - Sleep Monitor
-   - Calories burned
-   - Messaging
-   - Smartphone Notifications
-   - Media Controls
-
-* Unboxing
-Now, my PineTime was ordered on 2022-02-17, shipped on 2022-02-22, and
-was delivered on 2022-03-23. With the current delays on shipping times
-around the world (and the semiconductor shortage), a month for delivery
-from China seems reasonable to me.
-
-The packaging is simple, and the watch comes with instructions,
-technical information, the watch, and a charger (it does not include a
-USB wall adapter).
-
-The watch itself was able to turn on immediately when I pulled it out of
-the box, but the battery was depleted and required charging right away.

-* Software
-** Watch OS: InfiniTime
-While turning on the watch for the first time, some of the main design
-choices you can see in the watch OS,
-[[https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/InfiniTime][InfiniTime]], are:
-
-- A square bezel, not too thin against the sides of the watch.
-- A simple, rubber band.
-- Basic font and screen pixel design.
-- Swipe gestures to access other screens.

-
-The OS itself is fantastic in terms of functionality for me. It does
-exactly what a smartwatch should do - track time, steps, heart rates,
-and connect to another smart device, without being overly burdensome to
-the user.
-
-My only gripe so far is that it's /really/ difficult to swipe to
-different screens, such as pulling down the notification tray. I'm not
-sure if this is an OS or hardware issue, but it makes it quite hard to
-quickly move around the screens.
-
-However, my absolute favorite design choice is that the button the side
-turns the screen on and off and tilting/waving my wrist doesn't
-accidentally turn on the screen. With other watches, I absolutely hated
-not being able to turn off the raise-to-wake or wave features (i.e.,
-blinding myself while wearing a watch at night because I moved my arm).
-
-** iOS App: InfiniLink
-Since I am using iOS as my primary mobile device OS, I am using the
-[[https://github.com/xan-m/InfiniLink][InfiniLink]] app to connect my
-watch.
-
-This app provides the following for PineTime owners:
-
-- Firmware updates
-- Steps
-- Charts
-- Notifications
-
-I mashed up a few screenshots to show off the home page, menu, firmware
-update, and notification test screens:

-
-Another big feature of InfiniLink is the ability to track pedometer
-steps in a collection of beautiful graphs, with the option to change
-your step goal and add in manual steps.

-
-Finally, there are charts to display the battery percentage and heart
-rates over time. This area also comes with an option to clear data.

-* Final Thoughts
-** Pros
-After wearing my watch for a few weeks, I have mostly positive thoughts
-about the watch so far. In the past, I have owned smartwatches by
-FitBit, Fossil, Apple, etc. - *but I prefer the PineTime over all of
-those watches*.
-
-The PineTime strips out all the unnecessary features and performs the
-functions that it provides effectively and efficiently.
-
-The battery life is amazing on this device. By default, the watch seems
-to last anywhere from a few days to a week before dying.
-
-And of course, it's open source and backed by some of the most dedicated
-enthusiasts and developers I've seen. Watching the Matrix channel,
-forums, and website have been exciting to see.
-
-** Cons
-If I had to complain about anything, it would simply be the small bugs
-in some features that can be contributed to the companion apps more than
-the watch itself.
-
-A regular user would want native notification support out-of-the-box,
-which is the biggest item not working for me at the moment.
-
-My only other complaint is that the battery indicator on the watch
-doesn't seem accurate when it's nearing depletion - it seems that
-there's a bit of battery life left and then my watch is dead very
-suddenly after. This could just be me misinterpreting the battery level
-icons, but it has fooled me a few times into thinking I had more battery
-left than I actually did.
-
-Other than those small items, I really do love this watch and am glad I
-replaced my Apple Watch with the PineTime.
