InfiniTime VS wasp-os

New releases are available here: https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime/releases/

The PineTime is a great smartwatch if your main use cases are checking the time and displaying new notifications from your phone. The build quality is great and the hardware is very similar to the original Fitbit Versa. Battery life varies with use, and I get about 5-7 days on a charge.

The most well-maintained OS for the PineTime is InfiniTime:

I'm not aware of any major brands that offer account free service.

As far as I know, Tizen smart watches can function well on their own after setting up the account once and I believe cloud synchronization is optional. However, Tizen is a dead end with Samsung getting back to Android Wearable.

There's PineTime (https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/), which is very barebones but open source. Popular firmware, such as InfiniTime (https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime) can also be flashed onto several smart watches available on your favourite Chinese import stores (for example: https://github.com/StarGate01/p8b-infinitime for the Colmi P8).

Read further about the new update and grab it for your PineTime here: https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime/releases/tag/1.12.0

Try wasp-os https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os

I have a colmi P8 and it was easy to get wasp-os uploaded and now have micropython available with direct connection into the watch!

Battery life is really only 24-48hrs if you don’t do anything heavy.

Sometimes I wonder how more useful it is than my apple watch.

I want to install some apps available in the repository https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os on my PineTime running wasp-os, because some were not shipped with the official 0.4.1 release. Any idea how to do that?

You can also have a look at early commits from existing project (Waspos, InfiniTime, Hypnos,...). For example, the very first commit of InfiniTime consisted in a simple main and a blink task.

1) First you you need to choose smartwatch dev kit I choose PineTime smartwatch by Pine64 2) Next you need to install the Dev tools you need for development as you see in the image above 3) Next you need to choose an Operating system or firmware for your smartwatch I choose Wasp-os https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os and it has all the libraries and documentation right on github it also has good documentation Right here https://wasp-os.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#install-prerequisites 4)Rest all depends on what you trying to build with the smartwatch the possibilities are endless

If you're unable to ship PineTime to your country and if you're looking for a watch to tinker with checkout wasp-os[1] project which runs micropython on some easily available NRF52832 devices.

Also Aaron's ATCWatch[2] which runs Arduino compatbile firmware on the aforementioned devices and more; His Daflasher app has made it possible to flash firmware to to NRF52832 devices without any HW tinkering.

Per the wiki it has a default OS (InfiniTime). However currently the MicroPython based Wasp-OS seems to have more features.
