Improvements over the original PineTime:
- AMOLED display;
- GPS;
- A custom chip;
- A digital crown which also features an extra button;
- New sensors including a blood oxygen sensor; and
- Power to individual components can be cut unlike the non pro watch which will improve battery life.
Funding
There has been discussion on if we do fund raising by baking in a small offset cost into the devices; or if we do a service with costs for fund raising. This decision has not been made yet.

Nice! I hope the new chip will capabilities for better software too, Infinitime is still quite lacking with very limited notification length and no characters outside the English alphabet. And development is very slow, with not many active contributors, that’s just the reality of a niche open source project.
Still I daily mine.
