# Getting started with InfiniTime

On April 22, 2021, InfiniTime and Pine64 [announced the release of InfiniTime 1.0.0](https://www.pine64.org/2021/04/22/its-time-infinitime-1-0/) and the availability of PineTime smartwatches as an *enthusiast grade end-user product*. This page aims to guide you with your first step with your new PineTime.

It is highly recommended to update the firmware to the latest version when you receive your watch and when a new InfiniTime version is released. More information on updating the firmware [here](/doc/gettingStarted/updating-software.md).

## InfiniTime quick user guide

### Setting the time

By default, InfiniTime starts on the digital watch face. It'll probably display the epoch time (1 Jan 1970, 00:00).

You can sync the time using companion apps.

- Gadgetbridge automatically synchronizes the time when you connect it to your watch. More information on Gadgetbridge [here](/doc/gettingStarted/ota-gadgetbridge.md)
- [Sync the time with NRFConnect](/doc/gettingStarted/time-nrfconnect.md)
- [Sync the time with your browser](https://hubmartin.github.io/WebBLEWatch/)

You can also set the time in the settings without a companion app. (version >1.7.0)

InfiniTime doesn't handle daylight savings automatically, so make sure to set the correct time or sync it with a companion app.
