So Pujie Black keeps losing its connection to my fit account. I'll go into settings and re-set up the connection and it goes back to working, and then at some point later, it suddenly stops. I'm still testing to figure out what exactly triggers it, but anyone experienced similar behavior?

That'd be my first step.

Good thinking. I removed fit from optimization on my phone, I'll see if that helps.

Not strictly Wear OS, but wearable and Android... I bought a Galaxy Fit, and I was wondering if there were any longer/larger bands available, either direct from Samsung or 3rd party. This is a recurring issue with any wearable for me, as my wrists are ~10in in circumference, so almost no stock bands fit well. The Galaxy Fit does, technically, fit (lol) but is very snug; I feel it when I flex my wrist or fingers.

It needs to be quite snug for the sensors to work properly. Another option might be to look at a Watch Active - it uses normal 20mm bands so there should be tonnes of options.

Does anyone else use OurGroceries with wear OS? Mine stopped syncing sometime in the last few weeks. Well, sort of. It actually syncs, but to an old version of my data. Even uninstalling and reinstalling goes back to the stale data.

I know when I upgraded my phone recently, the transfer didn't give me premium right away and I had to download the Premium Key from the Play Store. Is it possible your phone app needs premium reauthorized? Assuming that's not the problem let me walk through this. Everything is synced and you open the app on your watch and it comes up with old data. If you update that data, like say you cross something off, does the old data then sync back to the phone, web, and your wife and destroy the new data? Or does the watch just get further and further from the canonical dataset?

5TonsOfFlax posted:Thanks to OurGroceries support, I found and fixed the issue. I'd never cleared the crossed through items, and over the years they accumulated past the point where Wear OS refused to send a message that large. Deleting old items fixed it. There's a limit to the number of items a list can have? Did OurGroceries share what that limit is? I've never cleared crossed off items because the only things I want to add to my list are items I've used before and the easiest way to add stuff to the list is to uncross off things I've bought in the past.

I've got a Fossil Sport Heartrate smartwatch. I just wanted something that can download podcasts and listen to them without a phone and this is doing the job so far. Small issue I've run into is that using PlayerFM to send podcasts to Wear Casts only gives me twenty at a time and I think you have to subscribe monthly to get premium access. Does anyone know any apps that work and give you the full library for free?

A limit on the maximum size message that Wear OS will send from phone to watch. So the actual number of items will vary with their size. Regardless, I used OurGroceries for at least 8 years without running into this.

Weird issue: I dug my old LG Urbane out of the drawer and charged it up overnight. It connects to my phone with Bluetooth just fine, but the WearOS app is a different story. The phone just sits on the "Looking for devices" screen and the Watch never shows up. Any ideas? E: I had to reset the watch and re-pair it.

The weirdest thing. My Huawei watch 2 stopped responding to some touch inputs, I was worried because I had hit it off something. Buttons worked fine, I could input my pin, but couldn't move anything menus or anything. Had to let it die as couldn't find a way to restart. Anyway, after that and recharging it it's fine again now. Strangest of all is that it seemed blazing fast reacting to the physical buttons during that spurt

If it happens again, holding physical button for like 20-30 seconds should be the force restart shortcut

Fossil is doing spring clearance, 30% off pretty much anything as long as it's in stock. Try code SITEWIDE30 or failing that, SHOP30 on the fossil.com site and even their affiliated brands like the skagen.com site. Brings a Skagen Falster 3 from $295 to $206.50

I run my watch always on because it's a watch and gently caress having to press a button when I wanna see the time. I turn off the screen at night on the odd nights I'm not charging, and suddenly now it's asking me to confirm "theater mode" when I try to do it. Lame

Lame I didn't know it ever didn't ask for confirmation before turning on theater mode. I'm pretty sure it's always done that for me on every Wear OS watch I've used going back to the old, original 1.x software.

Why are the Misfit watches $70? Are they garbage? Out of p roduction fire sale? https://www.misfit.com/smartwatches/misfit-vapor-2/ Edit: It's because the X came out. Is there a big enough difference between the 2 and the X to be worth the new one? KillHour fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Apr 26, 2020 |

The X uses the 3100 while the 2 uses the 2100, not that there's THAT much of a difference between the processors, but the multiple battery modes are finally starting to show up for the 3100 which can make a difference depending on use case. The real killer is both of them only have 512mb of ram and WearOS really only becomes decently responsive at 1gb. So, as a roundabout way of answering your question, no, the X is not worth $150 more in so far as no WearOS device with less than 1gb of ram is worth more than $100. $70 is fine for the Vapor 2 as the differences between 2100 and 3100 really aren't that important. The important thing to remember is the vast majority of the WearOS devices out there are made by Fossil Group just with a different case and slight software tweaks between them. 512mb RAM pay less than $100 for it. There are a bunch of ones that can be had in this range (Vapor 2, Fossil Sport.) 1gb of RAM pay less than $200 for it. The Gen 5 can regularly be had between $160 and $180 after discounts. The value proposition is a bit dubious here, but it's not horrible.

Downloaded this nice watch face literally called Pixel Watch Face (its unofficial) last week, its been pretty good. No health info but you get big, easy to see numbers for the time, battery percentage, date & weather. You can also opt in to getting the WearOS logo but even the staunchest of fanboys probably dont want to tote that out too much. Actually seems more responsive than the Pear face I was using before.

So my cap is $150, and I need a smartwatch that will primarily be used for heart rate monitoring and health/fitness tracking, with GPS, messaging, apps, etc being secondary. I'm also open to non-Google products such as Fitbit or Garmin if those offer superior heart/health tracking. As a side note, how are all these "smartwatches" that Amazon has for $30? I assume they die within a week and explode on your wrist after giving you cancer.

Are any of the newer Wear devices uh, on the smaller side? I have really thin and tiny wrists. I've had the smaller ZenWatch 2 (1.45")for a couple years now and I like it a bunch, still works fine and lasts quite a while on a charge, but I'll eventually need to replace it and something that fits similarly instead of looking really huge on me would be preferable.
