He's right in that case though? The 360 is regarded as the best and it has the performance and battery problems caused by the old SoC, plus the flat tire that bothers a lot of people.

The 360 has an ambient light sensor. That's part of why it has the flat tire.

It's not if it had any compromises, it's if they were "glaring" or not. That's entirely subjective, and Thermopyle and I disagree on the matter. That's probably why he bought one and I didn't!

I have the Explorist. I paid a lot more for it than that and still think it was worth it. The charger is a little fiddly so I had one of my friends 3d print me a base for it. I have a small problem with it where leaving it on the charger over a day will make it drain faster than normal unless I reboot it first. I get lots of comments on it, mostly from other watch-wearing dorks.

The Wearos update seems to have improved the battery life on my q explorist. I'm at 69% (nice) after 9 hours with ambient display on. With the previous version I'd be at around 50% by now.

TorakFade posted:My Huawei Watch 2 got a lot of updates lately (in the last few months I mean), and I noticed after a period of not using it at all, that it became *extremely* sluggish. It was never a champion of speed, having noticeable delays (I want to say around 0.5-1 second?) every time I "clicked" on something, but now the delays are more in the 2-3 seconds range, making me double tap because it really looks like the input was not taken at all, and it's incredibly frustrating This is what happened to my Q Explorist. I've reset it multiple times and it still runs like garbage. Scrolling either doesn't work or overshoots after a huge delay. Tapping anything is a several-second wait. I've left it turned off because otherwise I'll get several pairing notifications when it's within range. It was absolutely something to do with an update because up until a month or so ago it worked fine.

Is the new Snapdragon Wear 429 going to be decent? I stopped using my Q Explorist a long time ago because it ran like complete garbage. I liked having a watch but it was completely unpredictable and could last anywhere from 4 to 48 hours on a charge. I never used it for anything other than the time and notifications because it was slower than pulling my phone out of my pocket.

LastInLine posted:I'm surprised to hear about your inconsistent battery life though. My Explorist HR is mostly identical and used for exactly the same two things only and is remarkably consistent in its battery consumption at right around 24 hours. That was true of the first one and its replacement.

5TonsOfFlax posted:I agree. I don't mind the location stuff, I find the ability to look at my own history interesting. But fitness poo poo is just not worth the battery usage. I do not need it to monitor my heartrate. I do not need it nagging me about steps. I will never inform my watch that I am doing a workout. Hell, I don't even use the voice assistant. Mostly because it doesn't work, but also because gently caress speaking aloud when I don't have to.  i've managed to work out without needing a heart rate monitor or any of that other poo poo. what i need is a smarttooth that can tell me how much protein i'm eating (and to eat more, probably)

my pixel watch arrived. the box is bigger than the one my 7pro came in but there's no plastic in the packaging which is nice. it's smaller than i expected it to be, but i compared it to one of the watches i wear regularly and it's almost exactly the same size. the latching mechanism on the band is odd, especially how you tuck the slack underneath. the band that came installed is too long for my apparently slender wrists so i swapped to the other one and it's more comfortable. there is a second button above the crown for switching apps but it is difficult to press without having a finger on the other side of the watch to do a pinch motion i turned it on and got a surprisingly loud chime and the vibration was good too. when it turned on it just showed a phone and a watch icon and i wasn't sure what it wanted but if you tap the screen it tells you to install the pixel watch app on your phone, which annoys me because i had my app drawer down to exactly 8 rows and now it is ruined. then you do the pairing which was straightforward. it then made me agree to some stuff including an arbitration agreement. the text made it sound like i didn't need to agree with it but when i picked "disagree" it rebooted the watch and i had to start over. i did that all over again and it had me set up a pin but it's limited to 4 digits which bugs me. it ran me through the tutorial stuff which i'm sure i'm going to forget and also had me install the fitbit app on my phone. i bought the LTE version hoping that i could get google fi but it didn't give me the option to pick a provider different from what i'm using on my phone so i'll worry about that later. i then decided i should put some stuff on the watch and figured authenticator would make perfect sense to have on a watch. i opened the watch app on my phone and it had a button to open the play store, how convenient! i searched for "google authenticator" and it brought me to the page for the phone app that i already have installed on my phone with no option to install it. i went to the play store on the watch and searched for it using voice search, which i hate, and it did not come up at all, so google never bothered to port it to wear. i can't think of anything else useful to have on the watch but maybe i'll figure something out after i wear it for a while

i had absolutely terrible battery life for a few days, it would be down to 20% after 8 hours of doing nothing, but it's been behaving lately, right now at 89% after ~6 hours today. i was excited to use it for tap to pay but the last couple of times i've tried it have either done nothing or put the terminal in the error state where i have to get out my phone anyway. it worked the first time i used it but i don't want to waste other peoples' time by dicking around with my watch while in line

today when i went to mow my yard, i put on my watch and earbuds like normal, and opened youtube music to play the same album i always play which i have downloaded on my watch. i tap it from the "Downloads" section and instead of getting a play button, i get a checkmark and a shuffle icon. tapping the checkmark asks me if i want to remove the download from my watch, and tapping the shuffle button shuffles the album, neither of which are things i want. how do i get it to play the album straight through like it used to?
