The PineTime is a very underpowered device that is really only capable of showing messages from a nearby smartphone. It doesn’t even run Linux, it runs a low-footprint firmware. Don't expect to video chat through it.
- Y_Y 5y agoIt's got a 64MHz cortex M4. It won't do 4k h.265, but you could definitely stream crappy low-res video. You'd need an external camera too though.

With the speed of the spi bus, the max speed you'll be able to update the entire display at is 8fps.

I currently have an Amazfit Bip paired to Gadgetbridge, but I'd definitely like to see something less proprietary on my wrist. Crossing my fingers to see a transflective display version one day for an even longer battery lifetime.
