I bought two as gifts for my teenage boys. They work fine, except for the heartbeat measurement which was comically off, at least it was on that version of the software.

There was an Android app called GadgetBridge which was really useful for a lot of the PineTime setup/maintenance/interfacing. I'd suggest checking that out.

I Will check it out!

They released an update yesterday that enhance the beatrate measurement and the battery like, you should check it out !

well it is better but by no means fixed. I still get heart rates of 0 or like 200 occasionally. Also battery life may be better but realistically I am getting about 3 - 5 days before I need to charge... better than some smart watches but I think it could still use some tuning.

Even with good Garmin watches the heart rate is usually quite off.
