Basically all their products are essentially dev kits. They are not meant for normal consumers. At least thwts how it has been for the phone, laptop, watch, etc.
Which I guess is a nice way to avoid legislation...
Sure, but they wouldnt exist without that. Making micro batches of specialized hardware is not profitable at all. Offering a real warranty would immediately bankrupt them. If they sold more than a few thousand devices per model then i would care, but meanwhile big manufacturers get away with so much worse.
The PineTime works great as a regular device as well! I did do a little dev'ing to get the weather to show in a watchface that hadn't been updated to include it yet, but other than that it's a solid device imo.
