A new Linux based smartwatch is presented by Pine64. It will cost only $25 and is running on FreeRTOS!

Quotes:

Will be approx $~25; comes with a (nice) charging dock; 20mm wristbands size; heart-rate monitor; zinc alloy + plastic; multiple-day battery. Waiting for some love from developers :)

This device will sell for about $25 (yes, really), and run on a low-power ARM MCU (Nordic Cortex-M4, 256KB RAM)

The watch should be able to connect to Sailfish OS, so hopefully some developer will create an Sailfish app for it.

For more info or if you are an Sailfish OS developers that will help them create an app, mail them at info@pine64.org

Why? There is Asteroid OS for watches.

Wow, we did not expect the level of interest you all have had in the #PineTime!

More info:
- Cost will be approximately 25USD
- Charging dock included in price
- Built-in heartbeat monitor
- Case built of Zinc alloy and plastic
- Battery life measured in days
- Sorry, can't run Linux itself. SoC is nRF52832, which uses a Cortex-M4 core. That's why we need FreeRTOS :)

The PineTime is designed to be "a companion for your Linux smartphone".

If you want a app for it, buy this device for the Amazfish devs and ask them to add it to the app.
