Sometimes during the update process, the connection will drop, and the update will fail. Your PineTime isn't broken, most likely the Bluetooth link dropped for a moment, so just try again. Try rebooting your phone, if it keeps failing, try restarting the watch by holding the power button down for approximately 8 seconds. Try to ''avoid'' holding down the button with the screen off. Or try with another device, just in case there are compatibility issues.

Version 1.0.0 of InfiniTime is merely the first version that was considered sufficiently feature complete and stable enough for daily use. This isn't to say there aren't still bugs present ('cause there are!). So there are a few bugs still present in the update process and the bootloader. One unfortunate bug appears to be that sometimes when the watch tries to restart after an update, the bootloader locks up, and the watch won't turn on. In this case, you will need to wait until the watch battery goes flat, in order to force the watch to reset. This will most likely involve waiting for a week, and then when you put the watch on the charge cradle, it will power up and you should be right to try again.
