@[email protected] do either of you have any particular comparison between the two watches? And maybe how portable the apps can be for each other? For example writing something for the PineTime and porting it to the bangle js2 or vice versa?
I only ask because the former is so cheap and the latter is currently nigh quadruple the price. But my partner and both have been looking for a good smart watch that has the basics from what you want with one but without it being $150 to Samsung and bloated down. And while I'm not a programmer I'm nearly happy enough with the offerings I see on the websites. I do have a couple Pi projects and a home server that I go back and forth on. When I get the motivation I don't usually have any issues and it's at least in a usable state by the end, even if it's not perfect.
Thanks for any input!
The pinetime does not have many apps and you can't simply install any. I think you have to alter Infinitime to implement the app, then deploy infinitime (with app included).
Idk who downvoted this but that's literally what the github page says you need to do.
Ah thanks, I was just reading what was listed for each on their website, I didn't even think to check the git for them.
