PineTime suitable for wake-up alarms?
#2
Currently, there's a couple of issues. Firstly, using GadgetBridge+Pinetime+Infinitime, the connection seems to drop quite frequently, requiring a restart of the PineTime before it can reconnect. Because of this, the chances of missing the alarm are high. Second, in my experience, when an alarm does go off, the Pinetime (with infinitime) only vibrates once, no matter how long the alarm is going off. A single vibration on your wrist with no sound, is not going to reliably wake many people up.

Hopefully later versions of Infinitime will work on both reliability of the bluetooth connection and also vibrating continually until dismissed (either on the watch or phone). When that happens it's likely to be a good option. Until then I'd suggest sticking with your phone near your bead. ;P
