- megous 5y agoThey don't waste time with the software side of things. :)
- paulcole 5y agoUnrefined. Low build quality — remember when one of their product pages effectively said, “Don’t buy this if you can’t handle a couple dead pixels.” Their goal is to ship as much stuff as possible and then leave it up to the “community” to improve the software while the hardware is at-best third-rate. Result is a bunch of releases people want to like but never measure up. Best reviews you’ll see are like, “It’s passable for the price if you can live with…”
- commoner 5y agoI've found the PineTime to be extremely well-built and comparable to the original Fitbit Versa in terms of hardware quality. No dead pixels. For $27 plus shipping, it was an excellent deal. For those looking for a buying experience similar to traditional retail stores, Pine64 previously announced that they would launch online stores selling products with longer warranties and broader customer support at higher price points: https://www.pine64.org/2020/12/02/pine-store-community-pricing-online-retail-stores/ https://www.pine64.org/2020/12/02/pine-store-community-prici...
