I mean LOOK at everyone in this thread. "Muh TerribleCo SlaveBuilt 4 is only a week old and they've stopped pushing updates and the battery doesn't last the whole day anymore I have to charge it at lunch."
"What's it for?" "Text messages hit by brain 4 seconds faster."
Pinetime
Which I imagine like everything else Pine64 does will remain permanently in a state of "industry seconds some dead pixels are to be expected this is for developers and enthusiasts only no returns or refunds." I don't think they have any plans to ever bring a consumer ready product to market.
I have one. No dead pixels. It doesn't necessarily do fancy things but that's sort of why I got it. $30 and it tells the time, shows me notifications and lasts over a week before I have to charge it. Eeeeevery now and then I'll use it to control media or play 2048. Hey it even counts my steps!
