Because I'm a dork I got a few of the Spigen/Caseology pixel watch cases/bands Caseology Vault is decent if you want to add some raised bumper and use the default watch band. Would buy if you want a bumper case. Spigen Liquid Air is the same idea as the vault but the case material is really flexible and moves around a bunch so I don't like it. Wouldn't buy. Caseology Nano Pop is a nice lightweight replacement band/case. Would buy. If you're looking for a different band and a more traditional clasp.

*Sigh* its time to replace my current watch. Is there anything that can offer at least 2 day battery life? I'm pretty no frills in terms of features, I dont want any sort of tracking, but I'd like to keep my payments attached. Looking at the Fossil Gen 6 but a lot of reviews really decry the battery life, but I wonder if all those people are using some of the watch face storefronts that really eat away at it. Responding to texts and such is also a must. If I went with a GW5, can I disable the tracking jazz to increase battery life? codo27 fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Feb 28, 2023 |

I have almost everything turned on with my 5Pro and I typically get 2+ days out of it. I know the non-pro has a slightly smaller battery, but I imagine it should be at least in the same ballpark.

The Pro has a battery that's almost 50% larger. I have both the Pro and the non-pro and the non-pro isn't making it to two days.

Not super complicated really. Open the Youtube Music app on the watch, navigate to the album you want, hit the download button. Go to settings -> Bluetooth on the watch and scroll down, you should see the headphones listed that were already paired to the phone, tap on them to connect. Done.

FYI, you can exploit a race condition in the setup process (provided you have access to more than one phone) to get both the Pixel Watch and some other fitbit device on the same account. https://czandor.hu/projects/2022/12/17/use-any-fitbit-device-simultaneously-with-the-pixel-watch/ I now have both my Pixel Watch and Charge 5 on the same account. Finally.

Nice of em to put the clasp on the stock strap on the GWP5 but I still hate the feel of the silicone. Going to have to find a replacement. Is there a way to make text notifications stop popping up with the persons bubble thing before actually showing the message?

I just flew from Atlanta to San Antonio and while my phone changed time zones, my Galaxy Watch4 is still somehow in Eastern time. I poked through the settings hut didn't see anything that stuck out. Does anyone know what I might be able to do (short of resetting the stupid thing) to get it to update its time zone.

Try refreshing your weather or use some other location based app? That's the only thing I can think of, it doesn't know you changed time zones.

My Watch 4 Classic seems to have burn-in after like 4 months, less than that with always on screen, off at night and generally at minimum brightness as I've been mostly indoors during the winter. Lol. I know how OLED works of course but I've had no signs of burn-in on my Note9 in what, almost 5 years, with days blasting navigation at full brightness and always-on screen enabled the entire time. Is this just what happens with these?

Lol. No, that is not normal. Here's mine which I've been wearing since the day they were available (late August 2021) with no notable burn at all:  My previous Huawei Watch took around three years to show anything, if it weren't buried in moving boxes I'd go boot it up for a picture of how it looks now after being retired when I got the GW4C.

It also might not be actual burn in at all... the first time I turned it on today after sitting and charging overnight, I couldn't really see this at all. Either it was just less noticeable under daylight brightness levels, or it's some sort of temporary retention effect (that I've never seen before on OLED) that isn't actually burn-in. I guess this will be clear soon enough.

It could be image retention. OLEDs tend to do that but it will fade after being off for awhile or if things are changed up.

I have a GPS-thingy for my normal bikes, but when I use the local bike share system, I used to track rides on my phone with Strava. The WearOS Strava app works a hell of a lot better ... except it has some weird long-standing bug (seems well over a year) if you have auto-start/pause enabled where it somehow zeroes your distance. Disabling auto start/pause fixes it, and Strava automatically deletes your pauses from your results anyway soooooo...

mobby_6kl posted:Huh. There's actually no sign of burn-in at full brightness white screen, but it's visible on grey background (though not as bad IRL, the camera cranked up the exposure)  I've been using the Info Board face recently though so it doesn't have many fully static elements like an analog style face would. Bull is right about image retention as well, my old HWatch used to look horrible on the flashlight as you can see in this old pic I found:  but most of the bright elements would fade over time if I changed faces. The darker smears were the actual permanent wear.

google says to do this to change faces from the watch but it has never worked on my pixel watch. if i press and hold, nothing happens at all. swiping to the left gives me the weather and other tiles. is there something i'm missing? i've always had to do it from my phone

Rotating bezel is back as rumored for the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic in latest renders. https://9to5google.com/2023/05/23/galaxy-watch-6-classic-design-leak/ I'll be curious if it retains some of the high points of the 5 Pro like extra large battery and titanium case. I suspect I'll be hanging on to my 5 Pro and trading in my Watch 4 Classic that I held on to. Newer processor is also rumored. Expected to launch a bit earlier this year as the Galaxy Unpacked event is rumored for end of July instead of mid to late August.

Loved my S3 Frontier with the rotating bezel, but was worried when rubber bits started falling out of the bezel. Eventually the entire back fell out of it and I upgraded to a 5 Pro. I hope a modern version of it can live long. I missed the bezel at first, but found a feature, off by default, that you could swipe your finger around the screen for a soft bezel ... that was great. But eventually I just got over it and live without the rotate feature. I really love how solid my Watch5 Pro feels without moving parts, and a 4 day battery life (not using always-on) without having to fuss with it. Also the titanium case and sapphire glass have survived me being a massive drunken klutz many a time. It still looks immaculate after ~half a year. Actually the default band is really good too. Really a fan of the non-black colourways for a change. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 22:41 on May 24, 2023 |

Yeah, I'm ambivalent on the rotating bezel. It's ok, I don't feel like it really enhances things a ton. I just don't want them to backtrack on durability or longevity by going back to the watch Classic branding.

OneUI 5 Beta based off of WearOS 4 has added the announced feature of being able to transfer a watch without resetting it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/samlover.com/2023/06/08/one-ui-watch-5-allows-you-to-transfer-watch-to-another-device-without-resetting/amp/

Oh that's great. Ran into an annoying situation where my phone data access inexplicably died. Using the "network reset" feature fixed the phone, but wiped my Bluetooth settings, and in turn I had to annoyingly reset my Watch5 and start over again.

As a chronic phone switcher, I'm super excited for this feature. I just hope it doesn't reset authorization for credit cards using google pay. I currently have too many watches partially BECAUSE i'm a chronic phone switcher and don't want to go through setting up a watch every time I switch things up. I'll still probably have too many watches, but not quite as many  .

Surprising how many weeks it took me to get my watch back to "just right". Also tedious things like the Samsung auth poo poo not working with my usual Vivaldi browser. But still loving the Watch5 otherwise. Also can't believe how immaculate it still looks despite my best efforts to bang it up. Just the magnetic clasp looks worn. Can always get another band if necessary. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Jun 9, 2023 |

I have a black leather band on my Watch 5 and it looks really good. The only reason I'm thinking of looking for another band is my current one doesn't keep it snug enough on my wrist for the blood oxygenation reading to be reliable. If Mobvoi ever updates my Ticwatch E3 to WearOS 3 I might give it another go, but the Watch 5 is just a nicer watch in general. It's paired to my secondary phone to avoid the whole having to reset everything when changing phones.

Not that I'm aware of. I wear it daily, and it's paired to my Pixel 6. I guess one caveat is that if it is paired to something other than a Samsung phone you might miss some tracking or have to jump through hoops to get some interoperability working. I'd defer to bull3964 on that, though - they are more knowledgeable than I am.
