Music on the watch or music on the phone? If it's the latter just disable automatic media controls (though I *think* that option somehow never made it to the Moto 360/2). If it's on the watch, well, just don't do that.

I can't say that I've noticed a difference with music on my phone and Media controls on the watch. I still get a day and a half or so. Does it leave your screen on all the time or something? tater_salad fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Apr 2, 2019 |

Nah, it doesn't leave the screen on. I've got ambient mode enabled, so I can still see the play/pause button and the title of the track though.

I'm surprised you have it, I just checked my old 360/2 and it's definitely not there, or at least not in the place it is on my Explorist HR. I'll be interested to hear if you notice a difference. VV Edit: If my 360/2 lasted 12.5 hours and had a battery meter that went below 70% I wouldn't have replaced it! ClassActionFursuit fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Apr 3, 2019 |

I've had it off the charger for at least 12.5 hours now and it's at 32%, having listened to something like 5-6 hours of music at work. Seems like turning that off did the trick!

My Fossil Q Marshall is doing a thing where the watchface is almost completely detached except for the bottom of the flat tire. It's just out of warranty, of course. I was thinking about getting a Samsung Gear of some sort, I read you can sideload the ability to pay from the watch from the Pixel 2, is that true? Any other watch I should look at?

I know it might be slightly offtopic but I just put away my huawei watch 1 after i got gifted a vivowatch3. I am fully aware of the limitations compared to wearos but in all honesty i am not feeling those. Never used the Bluetooth handsfree because i looked like a spanner while doing so, the voice commands have become junk after moving the engine to assistant and the onscreen keyboard have always been finicky. Using the watch for days without recharge brings me back to the pebble and what i wanted from a smart watch, show me the notifications, let me do some limited interaction and not spend one minute swearing every time i want the watch to react to my commands. Maybe I'll revisit wearos for fun in a few years but as it is i don't feel very compelled

I'm with you 100% After using 2 wear os watches for years I'm just backed an indigogo (from a company that produced products before) for a watch with limited features but everything I want. (hr monitoring, waterproof, lasts longer than 2 days, shows notifications). I use my watch to see texts and tell time. Very rarely do I use voice / anything else. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Apr 5, 2019 |

My 360v2 has started switching out of the charging screen seemingly at random. I think it started after I replaced the battery, but I'm not certain. Usually I can lift it off the charger and put it back and it'll fix itself, but not always. Has anyone else had this?

Not familiar with the charger on it but maybe scrape the contacts? My Asus zenwatch2 has contacts that I need to scrape all the time because they are in contact with my sweaty arms when I work out.

It's a Qi charger, so not applicable. It's also a cradle so it should be aligned well without really any fiddling.

Got a Fossil sport today and so far playing around with it at home I like it a lot more than the Samsung I had. It's nice to be able to use Android apps on the phone. Samsung was not particularly compatible in my experience

Update on my ticwatch pro: it's not very smooth and I think I'm going to contact them about maybe a return although I feel like I'm way out of my return timing. It works... fine but I don't find myself ever using any apps on it and it's just a little bit laggy etc when I do and it completely ruins the experience for me. I need human interface stuff to be really really polished and smooth and glitchless for me to enjoy it. I freely admit I'm a bit of an elitist or w/e but for $300-400, given the amount of RAM it has, it shouldn't be delaying opening apps, stuttering, etc.

But that's the charm of the 2013 era SoC! In short you aren't going to get any better of an experience with any WearOS watch and won't until an actual modern wearable SoC is produced.

Yeah my thinking now is basically that as an Android Boy I'm basically going to just buy a decent digital watch instead (I work in a hospital which is why I wanted a smartwatch instead of a nicer analog) and wait for a big shakeup in the smartwatch space for non-iOS.

I am fully aware of the limitations compared to wearos but in all honesty i am not feeling those. I try to keep tabs on WearOS because I love the idea but the implementation just never does it for me. Device History: Samsung Gear Fit was great for notifications and such, but has to be charged all the time. Garmin Vivofit kicks rear end, lasts like 6months on watch batteries, is just a watch and step counter which is all I really want, but the new versions keep getting iffy redesigns when I think the first version was fine. Huawei Band 3 has heart rate for possibly better sleep tracking, and can last like 2 weeks when you turn down the tracking or forget your charger and just want a watch on holiday. Out of all of them I love the Garmin the most for the angry red activity band. It beeps if you go sedentary and won't stop showing you an angry red band until you at least have an Italian conversation or a vigorous shower. If you only move a little it'll only erase part of the band. With the battery life and waterproofing, it's like an angry little life coach strapped to your wrist always nudging you to move. tater_salad posted:After using 2 wear os watches for years I'm just backed an indigogo (from a company that produced products before) for a watch with limited features but everything I want.

The amount of money that has been lost to fake gadgets dreamt up by non-engineers is staggering.

Honestly, I love the Galaxy Watch Active I bought on release date. The auto activity tracking has been great. The continuous heart beat monitoring has been spot on. Step counting has been great as well. It lasts about 3x longer than any Wear device I've had and is always responsive. I've been able to interact with notifications as much as I've wanted to. Yeah, there are fewer native apps, but if you want an activity tracker plus notification access, it's really hard to go wrong with this thing. My main complaint is I would have loved a larger case, it looks a bit tiny on my wrist.

The only complaint is that in hot climates it doesn't charge off of the body. As a person who lives in the Northeast 100° days are not yet an issue.

The only "permanent" fix I've ever found was resetting it back up and hoping it worked and it would... for a while. Now that mine's just a bedroom clock I got to a place where the screen came on once and I've never moved it.

I've had a Fossil sport for a few weeks now and I really like it. Google Pay is neat to use, which I never used on my phone because I don't have a lockscreen on it (yeah, probably a bad idea). I like that keep works on WearOS and I can check things off my grocery list without having to have my phone in hand.

That lockscreen was so annoying I disabled it before a week was up, I just couldn't take it. Also why would you not just use the fingerprint reader on your phone?

I have lockscreens on both, but being on my wrist keeps my watch unlocked, so I only put in my password once a day. My most-used features on my Fossil are Google Pay, Google Keep, the camera viewfinder/shutter, and Wear Codes (a QR code keeper app that I use for online movie tickets because I'm a huge dork). It's also nice to see what song I'm listening to without taking my phone out of my pocket, when I'm on an unfamiliar playlist. Fossil makes nice watches. I wish they had a better chipset to work with.

A family member is in the hospital with a poor patient-nurse ratio and inattentive, sometimes lazy staff. I frequently visit the room to find him with a high heartrate and drenched in sweat with the nurse swearing they were just there and didnt see anything wrong. I would like to find something that can remotely monitor his heartrate and possibly skin temp and have that data be viewable on my phone. That way I can notify the hospital staff when his stats deviate and then verify that something was done about it.The hospital has wifi throughout. If I really have to I can set up a cheap android phone to also be nearby. Is there smartwatch solution for my needs? What apps can do this?

This is most definitely not a use case for smartwatches, and there are huge liability implications. Wear OS, smartwatch connectivity/bluetooth, apps, smartphones, etc, all are notoriously unreliable, especially compared to actual medical devices. What happens when, not if but when, one of these items fails and has actual health consequences? I'm not comfortable with this.

At no point is the information being monitored a first point of reference. No additional liability is being taken on by your not being helpful. It continues to be solely on the hospital and its staff. If I notice a high heart rate that indicates something being wrong I can call the hospital and ask for a status update. This could only help the patient get better care unless the watch itself somehow physically injures him. A 25% margin of error in heartrate monitoring is still useful. That's entirely on you if you cant see this as valid use.

Fauxtool you are barking up the wrong tree, what you need is a dedicated heart rate monitor with remote data capabilities, plenty of china kits to look for(which still would make a much better job than a wear watch that will die in twelve to eight hours due to the watch app keeping the core and sensor on)
