This devkit is running InfiniTime, one of the many open source firmware available for the PineTime. Like many other, this project is still under development, but already provide basic functionalities like time synchronization with your phone, firmware upgrade via BLE (OTA) and support from companion applications like Gadgetbridge on Android and Amazfish on SailfishOS.

The OTA functionality allows you to install new versions of InfiniTime, or even other compatible firmwares like Hypnos (https://github.com/endian-albin/pinetime-hypnos) and Klok (https://gitlab.com/caspermeijn/klok).
