How useful is the heart rate tracker on the PineTime? I've seen comments saying it hurts the battery life and isn't accurate, but I don't know if that's been addressed with more recent updates.
I have PineTime setup with the heart rate tracker and always-on screen, the battery lasts all day if I charge it every night. In the latest update you can set the heart rate tracker to only poll every 1/5/10/30min if you're concerned about the power. The always-on screen uses much more power than the heart rate tracker.
