PINE64 (pine64@fosstodon.org)'s status on Thursday, 08-Sep-2022 07:54:55 JST PINE64
@icedquinn @allinone0 @shebang
The PineTime is rated to IP67.
(This obviously doesn't apply to the unsealed dev kits ?)

@allinone0 @shebang @PINE64 basically no because it's just held together with glue. the properly sealed ones are slightly water resistant.
there probably is a smart watch that is rated for abuse. i have not seen one.
downside to a gshock is after 7 years you need a new CR2032 and it's easy to lose the sound spring meaning your watch never beeps anymore :blobcatpain:PublicLewdness repeated this. -

@shebang @icedquinn @PINE64 That's all I'm looking for. For the price it is, I think it is worth it.
Is it water proof, or anything like that?

@icedquinn @PINE64 @allinone0 It's had a proper pairing process for quite a while now. I've never used software on PC with it, just gadgetbridge.
Mine works great for what it is: A very simple smart watch, it shows/dismisses notifications, you can control your music, it tells you the time and has reasonable battery life of about 4-5 days.
It is very basic though, it doesn't and can't really do a whole lot, it's about as simple as you can be and still be a "smart" watch. -

@allinone0 @PINE64 i wouldn't trust it. couldn't even set the time on it without having to download software on the PC. and even then anyone with the software can mess with your watch there was no basic pairing process or anything. (caveat: i'm used to a casio g-shock.)
@shebang can give you a happier review though
