PineTime is dead!!

[Markdanni123]

Infinitime is the official name of the software on the watch.  Maybe the new release changed the Bluetooth name.  If you can see the Infinitime Bluetooth entry then the watch is not dead.  Note that the watch normally powers off the screen after a few seconds to save the battery.  You have to push the button to turn it back on, touching the screen does not work.  A long press on the button (up to 10 seconds) will reboot the watch and you should see the Pinetime logo and then the watch face.

The most common problem on the Pinetime is a blank screen.  This has happened to me on multiple occasions with different versions of the software.  So far I have always been able to fix it, usually with the help of the developer (see the issues on Github for the various versions of the software).

Note that there are other forums for Pinetime discussion, like Discord and IRC.  You will usually get a faster response on those forums.
