It can link with your phone. I mean, it has a SIM card slot and runs Android, so I think the expectation is less that it links with your phone and more that it replaces your old phone, but there are Android apps that can link two Android phones together in various ways, so, if you wanted to sync it with another phone, you could.
I'm not wearing it right now, so I can't confirm whether the one I bought has a heart rate monitor or vibrator, since I don't personally use either of those things. There are definitely full Android watches which have those things, though, and likely at a similar price point.
Since we're listing things one has that the other doesn't, here's stuff the Android watch has that PineTime doesn't:
- A speaker
- A microphone
- A cell phone radio
- WiFi
- GPS
Each of those things is something I find useful.
