It does not track sleep as that would require too much info to be sent to a third party. The battery is insane on it as well I get 5 plus days on mine.

Why would it require any info to be sent to a third party? My P32 tracks sleep and I keep it entirely offline.

Not enough processing on the watch I think. You can look it up on the pinetime gethub (https://github.com/topics/pinetime) somewhere in the mess of projects it is mentioned.

Couldn't it connect to a phone and have that do the math

They have not made a phone side app yet. That would be the third party I think.

How far the smart watch has fallen that 5 days of battery life is now "insane", these things should last weeks

It's just bad coding. Half a year ago they released a patch to more than double the battery life. 2 weeks is reasonable, especially when you limit the useless notifications.

Maybe they meant insanely short 🤔
