I'm playing with a new TicWatch! Aaannnd it's kinda the same as the last TicWatch? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44o
The Enduro isn't a new generation of watch, but it is a nice little hardware refresh over the TicWatch Pro 5. Let's take a look!

I've used watches for ~20 years but 1.5 years ago I switched to a Galaxy watch 5 Pro because I wanted an everyday watch with that I could also use as a fitness watch. I'm going back to Suunto. I like the Samsung but I just don't use any of the WearOS apps that I thought I would use. And the Suunto is so much better for sports tracking and adventure. Not that the Galaxy watch is bad at run tracking, it's just not nearly as good as the Suunto.

Maybe I should blog about this.

The OnePlus Watch 2 is here! https://youtu.be/KDS77QkdS-4
This is maybe the most stunning turn around I've seen from a tech brand. Where the first OP watch was... Not great... Their follow up is one of the nicest wearables I've reviewed recently. Hit the video for the full scoop and give it a share!

What's the cheapest way to get Google Wallet on a smartwatch?

The Galaxy Watch 4 is about £150 - which seems a bit pricey for a digital watch, no matter how neat. But I accept I may be out of touch.

Anyone found anything cheaper?

(Not looking for 2nd hand. Needs to support several credit cards. Not interested in Apple.)

So. Anyone still wearing a TicWatch like I am? The watches from 2021 are FINALLY getting updated to WearOS 3!

https://youtu.be/a13HuGGeXbs

So we should talk about that support delay... HOW much of this was Mobvoi's fault?

With the large push to RISC-V in the Android ecosystem, especially with Qualcomm putting RISC-V on wearables, what's the chances of that rumoured fully customized Pixel chip be RISC-V based instead of ARM? Could be wild but would be cool.

I wasted hours yesterday on supposedly (and actually) live chat asking how I could back up my watch settings manually. The first chat (ai) sent me multiple links, all useless. The actual live one sent different ones and said to go to a repair centre. All useless and no longer apply. You can't do it.It gets done if your phone and watch are turned on and charged between 1-5am.Why didn't they know that?

Maybe the best battery life I've had yet with a WearOS watch! Off the charger at 4am on Wednesday, all the way to 11am on Saturday.
I'm gonna charge it now, but I could probably make it to bed time if I don't track a workout.
Nicely done TicWatch. Very nicely done.

Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro with Wear OS to compete with Samsung Galaxy Watch 6: As much to offer but costs less

The Watch 2 Pro is Xiaomi’s first smartwatch to run Wear OS. It is a properly high-end smartwatch with a 1.43-inch OLED screen inside a 46mm stainless steel case with an IP68 rating. It also features a digital crown, similar to the Apple Watch and the Pixel W ...continues

There are new guidelines for publishing apps and OMG. It's madness. I'm so close to remove my Wear OS app. I'm unable to update the app.

As usual - I have no clue what is the reason for rejection.

Do you have idea what could it be @yschimke? What does it mean "connect".

I do like a smart wearable, and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is rather nice... if a little familiar. Here's my full review:

My new Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic in 47mm arrived on Tuesday and I finally got around to setting it up today. I wasn't planning on upgrading my Classic 4 but I got an unusually good deal ($156) so I got the new model. It's really nice and the sapphire crystal makes the screen a bit more vibrant than the gorilla glass they were using. The new extreme sport bands are excellent too, I got the graphite and taupe model.
