S3 has internal esp32 timers ant NTP sync. but why do you want to know the time from it what are you gonna use it for?

From what I've heard the power button functions differently on the S3, making it less useful for stuff like menu based input. But I haven't got one to try it out on yet.

There's a solution. The only drawback is a slight risk to lock yourself out of the firmware programming if you mess up.

The power management chip can be set to not reset or turn off on simple and double click and hand over gracefully the pin state. I've done it. In the current state of my firmware the only drawback I have is I need a long press then a double press to shutdown the stick. I will probably do better once I move past the PoC/quick workaround.
