@koemdjiev@gmail.com @VMMainFrame @wibble : Thank you very much for your success reports! It's really nice to see that it runs on other's setup too!
Regarding BLE connection reliability : Indeed, sometimes, the connection fails, sometimes the OTA fails,... It's not easy to figure out what's failing in these cases : ble on the phone, ble on the Pinetime, RF interference,... We'll try to improve that in the future, but in the meantime, here are some workarounds:

Regarding BLE connection reliability : Indeed, sometimes, the connection fails, sometimes the OTA fails,... It's not easy to figure out what's failing in these cases : ble on the phone, ble on the Pinetime, RF interference,... We'll try to improve that in the future, but in the meantime, here are some workarounds:
- Most of the time, resetting the watch and/or the phone and retrying works. To reboot the watch running InfiniTime, simply push the button for 5-10s, it'll reset and reboot.
- Do not run NRFConnect and Gadgetbridge at the same time. If one of them auto-connects to the PineTime, the other one won't be able to connect. Also, I noticed that disabling the CTS (current time service) into NRFConnect improves the situation with Gadgetbridge, even if you're not using NRFConnect...
- The proximity of other WIFI/BLE/USB-C(with low quality wires) devices might cause RF interferences and cause the transfer to fail.
- [EDIT] When using Gadgetbridge, the OTA fails if you receive a notification (gadgetbridge will formward it to InfiniTime and it'll conflict with the OTA process). This is a known bug. As a workaround, you can disconnect from the internet to stop receiving notifications.
