- The PineTime Pro is a new smartwatch announced at FOSDEM26, designed as a more powerful sibling to the original PineTime rather than a replacement.
- It features a dual-core Cortex-M33 SoC, Bluetooth 5.2, a 410x502 AMOLED display, GPS, heart rate and blood oxygen sensors, a 6D IMU, microphone, speaker, and improved RAM and flash memory.
- Development has involved overcoming hardware issues with prototypes, and a third revision is expected in April 2024 to resolve remaining blockers for software bring-up.
- Software development is supported by community projects like InfiniTime and WaspOS, with potential for more advanced applications due to increased hardware capabilities.
- The PineTime Pro aims to enable new use cases such as fitness tracking, smooth UI, and external apps, while the original PineTime continues in production.
