Nice to haves:

  • Phone
  • GPS
  • Possibility for FOSS tracking fx using something like PhoneTrack and Nextcloud

The Pinetime is touchscreen.

What do you mean by "only runs the update logic once a minute"? What update logic are you talking about?

Section 1, step 2 states "update: To update the Watch Face with the current date and time. This is called every minute by the PineTime Firmware to refresh our Watch Face."

Good to know that it's touch screen. I would love if I could push a button on this watch and run a POST request to my server. Do you happen to know of that's possible?

It might be possible to do that, but the Pinetime can only use Bluetooth, so you'd need to write something for both the Pinetime and the device is connected to.
