Is the PineTime a smartwatch with enough functionality to recommend to others?

It is. That is the one thing I am not concerned about.
While it is using Bluetooth, it does not have any WiFi connection or anything like that.

Would be interesting to know how well all of these work. From what I read, the heart rate monitor (apparently as the step counter) is not the most accurate, but accurate enough for most cases.

Even if you delete them?

Not even that you got a message in said message?

Doesn’t matter to me. Would be interesting to know, but doesn’t change the fact that non working notifications are a bad thing.

That is quite sad. Most people do use spotify, or another streaming service. What is the actual problem there?

As far as I understood it, you open the a navigation app on your phone and the pinetime gets the updates from your phone. I know that it works with Amazfish+Puremaps, but don’t know if it works with anything else. It might work with GadgetBridge + OSMand now tho #2387 - [Feature Request] OsmAnd to InfiniTime Navigation App - Gadgetbridge - Codeberg.org
Could you check if this works nowadays? I think navigation is one feature a lot of people would want to use.

At least something! Maybe it can properly be used in a couple of months. From what I’ve read, it sounds like the perfect device (nearly no compute power, but a lot of functionality softwarewise). Thanks for your experience with the pinetime.
