I have a pinetime. Like basically every other Pine64 project (except the pinebuds, which are good, not great), it's lousy as a daily-use device and only of interest if you want to hack on an embedded device.
Might I ask why?
Specific to the pinetime, the biggest flaw to me is the screen. It's illegible in sunlight, and turns completely off when the watch is idle, so it's really bad at .... telling time. Beyond that, the watch faces and functions are extremely limited. Compared to the $20 Wyze Watch and the MiBands, it's practically stone-age.
