Introduction to the #PineTimePro
A couple of years ago I forgot to take off my #PineTime smart watch when bouldering. Smashed it hard against one of he holds and cracked the screen. It's still working fine, but it's a little annoying.
Figured that I'd get a new one once this one finally gives up.
Now there's a #PineTimePro in the works and as soon as that's out it's very likely I'll upgrade. Or maybe stick to the simplicity of the OG. Or go back to #BangleJS. Who knows... The new watch from #Pine64 seems interesting at least.
PineTime Pro will be a bigger, faster, more capable open source smartwatch
More than six years after Pine64 introduced a cheap smartwatch designed to run open source firmware, the company is preparing to launch a new model.

Pine64 FOSDEM 2026 Update Details PineNote and PineTab2 Progress
I really just want something that can adequately record if I'm asleep or awake and that can also send notifications from my (preferably #MobileLinux) phone.
That's it.
I'm guessing that's a combo of SPO2,(?) heartrate and movement sensors.
I got bit hard by one of only 2 proprietary apps I had installed for sleep tracking. This could help break that dependency, as long as there's some FOSS app out there with a decent algo for turning these sensors into sleep data.
