To be fair, the Pinetime is $27. Apple couldn’t make an Apple Watch for $27 retail either. Nicer screens and CPUs are readily available on aliexpress so I suspect Pine64 would be capable of making a nicer smart watch, and I have no information as to why they chose the low cost route.

- TaylorAlexander 3y agoYes this makes sense.
- cvwright 3y agoI would totally buy a faster PineTime! PineCube too, for that matter.
