Hello all,



I've been admiring Pine stuff for a while, and after reading an article saying that the PineTime is one of the best smart watches for privacy, and then seeing the price, consider me interested.



But the extent of my trying these type of alternative devices/software is having F-Droid on my phone and a VM of Linux Mint on my PC, (which I mainly use for RhythmBox's CD ripping ability.)




So my questions are:



  • Is the $30 PineTime workable out of the box?  I.E. can I go though some initial setup and get it going like a new android phone, or does it need far more tinkering?
  • If so, what?  Is there documentation?
  • What are the default apps for it?
  • How difficult is it to add more apps?  Is there an "app store" or does it have to be downloaded from GitHub or something?



Pointing me to the right articles would be great.  Admittedly I didn't dig too deep into the Wiki.




For $30 + tax/S&H/whatever I might try it out anyway, but knowing beforehand would be nice.




Thanks!
