  Sync the time on your PineTime using Chrome over Bluetooth LE

I just got a pinetime. Nothing could sync the time, not gadgetbridge or any of the other listed companion apps. Then I found this: https://github.com/alanszlosek/pinetime-infinitime-time-sync... and it worked like a charm.

  The Espruino JavaScript interpreter - Official Repo

  

The Bangle.js 2 is an excellent device. As a former Pebble user, this is the first device that I consider an adequate replacement for my Pebble (which by now has a diminished battery life and corroded charging contacts).

Here is my impression of the Bangle.js 2:

- Battery: Lasts about 3 weeks on a charge, constantly connected to my phone, when the watch is used to display notifications and alarms. This is a major advantage over Apple Watches and Android/Wear OS watches.

- Display and buttons: The 1.3" 8-color transflective display is comparable to the Pebble Time series' 64-color transflective display. The display is always on, and the backlight activation is highly configurable. The Bangle.js 2 has a touchscreen and 1 button, while Pebble watches have no touchscreen and 3 buttons.

- Software: Runs on the completely free and open source Espruino JavaScript interpreter,[1] which was my main motivation for purchasing this device. There are currently 336 apps in the web-based Bangle.js app loader (app store), including utilites and clocks (watch faces), all of which are FOSS. The bootloader and firmware can be updated directly from the app loader. On Android, there is a distribution of Gadgetbridge (built from the same code base as Gadgetbridge) with internet access enabled that integrates the Bangle.js app loader into Gadgetbridge, which makes it very easy to use the watch.[2]

- Build: Built on the same device body as the SMA Q3.[3] The casing is plastic, and the watch is compatible with standard 20 mm watch straps. The IP67 water/dust resistance makes the watch usable for sports.

Overall, I highly recommend the Pebble.js 2 watch, which is the best FOSS-focused watch I have found to date.

I added Garmin support to Gadgetbridge (specifically, Vivomove HR, but I think at least the basics should work for more) in my development/experimental branch: https://github.com/mormegil-cz/Gadgetbridge/tree/garmin-wip

Unfortunately, I never made the notifications to work (which were my main motivation...) and the work stalled. However, it is working.
