Tbh the reason I have an iPhone now is because if it’s gonna cost iphone money I mine as well just get an iPhone. Atleast with the iPhone you are paying to have a product that will get day 1 software updates and support for more years than most people keep a phone, all these other companies are charging a grand for a phone and you maybe get day 1 updates the first year, 3 months late the 2nd year, if they do a 3rd year you get 8 months later and after that you probably are just fucked. Even the companies that do support their products longer term you end up getting the next version of their respective is months after it’s release.

I had the OnePlus One. That was great. Then needed a new phone around the time the 'Three' came out and Xiaomi had absolutely rinsed OnePlus and their clones (Realme etc.) with their Redmi line. I'd still have a Xiaomi (loved Miui where others loathed it) if not for the whole Chinese govt spying on users thing : (

Yes but you don't really save since the competition always offers more in same price range. Not to mention nowadays, as i recall, they offer less software update than samsung.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, man!

Agreed. I tried the Google camera mod on my Oppo find X2 neo and it couldn't use the hardware properly. Pictures didn't look better at all. Where's on my old Nokia 8 the Google camera mod was dramatic in quality. That said the Oppo software is pretty crappy too

That's fine for a lot of people. I was happy to save on a camera I don't use a ton.

I just know when I can barely breath and it’s higher then it says haha. However, on the stair master it seems to be consistent to where I think it should be reading

I think mine is pretty accurate. I don't have anything else to compare it to, but I'd say it's at least consistent with its readings over time.

Are any of these good with true heart rate? I use the fenix 6, coming from the 5. On some bike rides I’d be going up a hill and my heart is beating out of my chest and it says my hr is 85 (that was on the 5). Same thing with playing hockey, will come off a shift absolutely exhausted, hr 90. Is there something with maybe sweat that’s not giving an accurate reading? I was hoping the 6 would have been improved, but same issues

No ties to Facebook? Sold!

I had 3 OP phones (5t, 7 and 8t). I am planning to migrate to Samsung Now. They used to be great, but they become much worth with A12 and later.

8t works great though after recent A13 updates.

My OnePlus 7 Pro doesn't have any issues with Android 12.

Maybe you need to do a factory reset. It is a pain in the ass but hopefully it will solve your issues.

I mean $900 for a professional use watch isn’t really that expensive, but at the same time the words “watch subscription” just scream idiocy to me regardless of wealth.

Seems to relate to still ongoing patent dispute

Not a streamer, so under what scenario would you encode more than one stream in real time? Even if you broadcast on say YouTube and twitch simultaneously, you use the same output right?

"Well, we didn't wanna... but you guys talked us in to it."

If they can afford a watch that expensive they can buy subscription apps.

Please pay me now daddy Tim Cook, sir.

Byeeee, have a great time!

Any Tesla owners willing to step forward?

It will be so cool

I feel like you’ve shot yourself in the foot in more ways than one by buying a $900 smartwatch without doing an atom of research into what it actually offers.

ITT: People that forget that it took Apple 20 years to get back to launching hit products. Most of their life they’ve tested niche products at high prices before pursuing mass market. The frequently launched products too early for the market and abandoned them.

Even if these fail, I’m happy to see apple taking some risk instead of just printing money with incremental improvements to watches, phones, and iPads for the last decade. They can afford a miss but the upside is huge if they get it right in 2-3 generations.

If you think these are too expensive, you’re not the target audience.
