I'm thinking about getting a pinetime but I'm wonderimg where they are made? Amazfit is a bit uncomfortable for me as it is a chinese company and I would also like to avoid anything made in China. Though amazfit gtr2 is a bit more tempting with having a mic and speakers. Is there any change there will be a pinetime 2 with mic/speaker/nfc in a near future?

Pine64 devices are produced in mainland China (like almost all electronics these days) by a Hong-Kong-based company.

Maybe I am wrong, but i am reading some concerns about privacy here.
Yes, as said, it is crafted in China. But is very far from any Amazfit watch in that the companion app, GadgetBridge, does not sends any data out.
