Smartwatch Wearable

Pine64 is perhaps best known for its single-board computers, laptops and tablets, but also offers an open-source smartwatch capable of running custom-built open operating systems. First introduced in October 2019 as a completely community driven side-project, the PineTime will soon be available as a new version, namely the PineTime Pro. Various improvements and several new features are expected. These include:

An AMOLED display
GPS support
Additional sensors (including blood oxygen)
Digital crown with an extra button

Details on the exact technical specifications or price are still pending. Pine64 has stated that the PineTime Pro will utilize "a custom chip", but did not specify exactly what kind of SoC chip the new watch will use. In sum, the new model is expected to have a more vivid, power-efficient screen, support for navigation without a phone and more health tracking features, among other things. The original PineTime smarwatch is still available for $27.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Having studied philosophy and anthropology, I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
