Bluetooth Alternative?
#1
Sad 
My son has a sealed PineTime watch with PineTime version 1.5 software installed. He wants to upgrade the software, but we can no longer connect to the watch with Siglo. I suspect that the bluetooth is no longer working.

So I can connect to another PineTime watch on the same computer, but not this watch. I don't believe there is any other way to connect, for example using the USB charge adapter to connect to the laptop USB port doesn't seem to be a viable way to communicate with the watch.

If the bluetooth stops working, is there any practical way to save this watch? It is set to 1970, and my son has installed a version of the software (1.5) that doesn't appear to support updating the time.

He has autism and is love with the PineTime watch. He spends endless hours upgrading and downgrading the software on it, because he wants to experience every version number. I guess the watch has been loved to death.

Any advice is apprciated.
