Hi there, a new user of PineTime here.
As a many years user of Sleep As Android app, I can say that an accelerometer and a good algorithm is more than enough to have a sleep tracking.
As for optical pulse sensing, the same applies too, for example, my wife got some Garmin watch that do great in matter.
Problem with Sleep As Android is that there are hundreds of phone models, each with different hardware/software combination. So, I have poor performance with a Redmi phone.
That way, single platform with a certain hardware (i.e. PineTime) is ideal for finetuning.
Sleep As Android is capable to integrate various smart watches to get data, so I'm intended to do a little research here. It is always nice to have smartphone power to do math, while some wearable is providing data.
