    It looks like Pinetime lets you customize the watch face with Rust, but is it touchscreen? Am I right in seeing that it only runs the update logic once every minute?

      The rust part is kinda not true… You can only really use wasp os and infinitime, and neither of them support rust watchfaces. And yes, it is in fact touchscreen.

      The Pinetime is touchscreen.

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

        https://lupyuen.github.io/pinetime-rust-mynewt/articles/watchface

        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.
