      I use to not wear one but I got myself a PineTime and it is very handy for my current job which revolves heavily around time.

        The Pinetime is an awesome watch. Basic functionality, but…way more than you’d think for the price and the simple UI. It’s crazy what that thing can do.

          I pretty much just use it for a watch and phone notifications. There are games on it that I don’t play, the HR monitor isn’t that great though. A great price for a fun little open source watch.
