This is a pinetime it looks like.

You should get one, open source and $30.

Watches should be round IMO. I'm happy with my Samsung Watch 4 Classic.

Yeah, but square screens are way cheaper to procure and to program for, and every little helps in an open source project aiming for $30.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

honestly just depends on what kind of watchface you want, square is cheaper and in some ways more convenient so if you don't want an analog clockface there's no reason to bother

I would not say that any of the features work well enough to consider them as actual features. The only thing that is truly reliable is telling time.

My battery life is about 3 days. The notifications are ugly and bare minimum. It does not store more than 5 at a time.

That is a bold statement. I as someone who was considering purchasing one, could you elaborate?
